Dom people

Ethnic group The Dom (or Domi) ( ) of the Middle East are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group. Some authors relate them to the Domba people of India . They have a rich oral tradition and express their culture and history through music , poetry and dance . Initially it was considered that they are a branch of the Romani people , but recent studies of the Domari language suggest that they departed earlier from the Indian subcontinent , probably around the 6th century. The majority of the estimated population of 2.2 million live in Turkey , Egypt and Iran with significant numbers in Iraq . Smaller populations are found in Libya and other countries of the Middle East. The actual population is unknown as some Dom are excluded from national censuses and others label themselves in national terms rather than as Dom. Nowadays, they speak the dominant languages of their larger societies, but Domari , their national language , continues to be spoken by more insular communities. Iranians and Afghans called them gurbati or kouli , both of which mean "foreigners". Googoosh have a song ("Koeli"), where she speak of Dom people, the gypsies from Iran.

Ethnic group The Dom (also called Domi ; / ALA-LC : Dūmī , دومري / Dūmrī , Ḍom / ضوم or دوم , or sometimes also called Doms ) are a people with origins in the Indian subcontinent which through ancient migrations are found scattered across the Middle East , North Africa , Caucasus , Central Asia and still parts of the Indian subcontinent. The traditional language of the Dom is Domari , an endangered Indo-Aryan language , thereby making the Dom an Indo-Aryan ethnic group . They have been associated with another traditionally itinerant ethnic group of Indo-Aryans variously called the Rom/Roma/ Romani people (also known in English as Gypsies): the two groups have been said to have separated from each other or, at least, to share a similar history. Specifically, the ancestors of both the Dom and the Rom/Roma/Romani left the Northern Indian subcontinent sometime between the 6th and 11th century.

Ethnic group The Dom (also called Domi ; / ALA-LC : Dūmī , دومري / Dūmrī , Ḍom / ضوم or دوم , or sometimes also called Doms ) are descendants of the Dom with origins in the Indian subcontinent which through ancient migrations are found scattered across Middle East , North Africa , the Eastern Anatolia Region , and parts of the Balkans and Hungary . The traditional language of the Dom is Domari , an endangered Indo-Aryan language , thereby making the Dom an Indo-Aryan ethnic group . They used to be grouped with other traditionally itinerant ethnic groups originating from India: the Rom and Lom people . However, they left India at different times and used different routes. The Domari language has a separate origin in India from Romani and Doms are not closer to the Romani people than other Indians such as Gujaratis . Dom people do not identify themselves as Romanis.
