The Romani in Spain, known as Calé or gitanos (Spanish pronunciation: [xiˈtanos], an exonym which the community has adopted, literally translated into English as Gypsies) belong to the Iberian Romani subgroup known as Calé, with smaller populations in Portugal (known as ciganos) and in Southern France (known as gitans). Their sense of identity and cohesion stems from their shared value system, expressed among gitanos as las leyes gitanas ('Gypsy laws').
