Despite probable dravidian origin of romanis, their original religion appears be something between zoroastrism and vedic hinduism, showing they had an important contact with aryans before went out of indian subcontinent. As their language.

She spelled "Vidyalaya" wrong in the Devanagari. It says "Vadyialaya."

what do you count as "dravidian"? romani originated in northwest india, in a indo-aryan speaking area. they dont have dravidian origins, well every indian has dravidian origins though, no indian is pure aryan. https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...ma-to-Pakistan dravidian is the area around southindia tamili, telugu, karntaka etc.

Gypsies lack of typical indo-aryan Y-DNA like R1a or R2, technically they are "aryanized" dravidians.

Also remember the dravidian pocket in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Brahui people, it probable shows Northern South Asia was full dravidian before aryans arrived.

There is also the possibility gypsies were migrants from South India, that stayed long time in Northern South Asia, and only after they migrated out of indian subcontinent.

They have H1 but even their ydna links to them to northwest india http://www.abroadintheyard.com/dna-s...400-years-ago/ Kalash also have 20% H1 and H1 is spread all across southasia in all castes and all regions. I dont think division of dravidian and aryan can be made by ydna or genetics only by language, also their maternal dna (mtdna) links them to indo-aryans like rajputs. Gypsies probably descendt from a small group of founders, and due to bottleneck and founder effect they have such high frequency of H1. That doesnt mean they couldnt have been indo-aryans. I think that gypsies are southindians is pretty much disproved by most recent autosomal studies which places them all in northwest india.
