In German-speaking Europe, the self-designation is Sinti, in France Manush, while the groups of Spain, Wales, and Finland use Calé, Kalé and Kaale (from kalo meaning "black" in Romani language). Following the first World Romani Congress in London , usage of the Romani terms Rom (singular) and Roma (plural), have become increasingly widespread ...
