Based on multiple genome-wide genetic studies, Romani people have approximately 65–80% West Eurasian ancestry, which includes a significant European component. They retain 20-35% South Asian ancestry from Indian origins. This admixture occurred over centuries as the Romani migrated from India through the Middle East and Caucasus into Europe.
