Sinti

For the Thracian people of antiquity, see Sintians.

The Sinti (also Sinta or Sinte; masc. sing. Sinto fem. sing. Sintesa) are a Romani people of Central Europe. Traditionally itinerant, today only a small percentage of the group remains unsettled. In earlier times, they frequently lived on the outskirts of communities. The Sinti of Central Europe are closely related to the group known as Manouche in France. They speak the Sinti-Manouche variety of Romani, which exhibits strong German influence.
