Romani people in Brazil
The Romani people in Brazil (Portuguese: Ciganos no Brasil) are known by non-Romani Brazilians as ciganos (Portuguese: [siˈɡɐ̃nus -ˈnuʃ]), or alternatively by terms such as boêmios, judeus (in Minas Gerais) and quicos (in Minas Gerais and São Paulo), in various degrees of accuracy of use and etymology as well as linguistic prestige. As implied by some of their most common local names, most Brazilian Romani belong to the Iberian Kale group, like their fellow lusophone Portuguese ciganos, and the Spanish Romani people, known as gitanos.
