The Manouches are a subgroup of Roma who have lived in France since the eighteenth century.[1] The term Manouche is the self-ascribed name of the French Sinti.[2] Manouche means man or human being in the Romani language. They speak the same variety of language as the Sinti which exhibits strong German influence.[3]
