Romani people in Romania, locally and pejoratively[2] referred to as the Țigani (IPA: [t͡siˈɡanʲ]), constitute the second largest ethnic minority in the country (the first being Hungarians). According to the 2021 census, their number was 569,477 people and 3.4% of the total population.[1] The size of the total population of people with Romani ancestry in Romania is even more, with different estimates varying from 4.6 percent to over 10 percent of the population, because many people of Romani descent do not declare themselves Roma.[3][4] For example, in 2007 the Council of Europe estimated that approximately 1.85 million Roma lived in Romania,[5] based on an average between the lowest estimate (1.2 to 2.2 million people[6]) and the highest estimate (1.8 to 2.5 million people[7]) available at the time. This figure is equivalent to 8.32% of the population.[8][9] On the other hand, less than half are native speakers of the Romani language.
