They arrived in Barcelonain 1447 from Egypt and were known as Gitanos, which in Old Spanish, “Gitano” meant “Egyptian.”or”Gypcians” in English. Being nomadic they had no written historical records on their origins. Linguistic research has shown that Romani Chib, the language spoken by the gypsies was a simplified Sanskrit having roots in Punjabi and Hindi.
