romanichal

noun

1. A member of a Romani people found in the United Kingdom.

   “"We're just going to fade away," a Romanichal man told me at the Barnet Horse Fair, as recently as 1993. "It's all going to go."”

   “My genes would best be described as a melting pot – my mother is part Bulgarian Roma, part Romanichal (English Romany), and my dad is part Romanichal, part Irish Traveller – thus, it was hardly surprising when I was born a blue-eyed milk bottle.”
