- For the Thracian people of antiquity, see Sintians.
The
Sinti (also
Sinta or
Sinte; masc. sing.
Sinto fem. sing.
Sintesa) are a
Romani people of
Central Europe.
Traditionally itinerant, today only a small percentage of the group remains unsettled. In earlier times, they frequently lived on the outskirts of communities. The Sinti of Central Europe are closely related to the group known as
Manouche in
France. They speak the
Sinti-Manouche variety of
Romani, which exhibits strong
German influence.
