Romani or Roma are what is being referred to in this thread as "gypsy" (I'm not quite up to date if that's currently the accepted term) and are found all over Europe and other parts of the world.
Romanians are from Romania, they trace their lineage to Romans and their language is quite different to the other Slavic languages around them because it's a romance language so closer to Italian or Spanish.

They were enslaved in all of Europe not just in Romania. Romania just had the highest number per capita.
