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] The word "manouche" means "man" or "human being" in the Romani language, and is closely cognate to the word for "man" in many modern Indian languages such as Hindi मनुष्य (manuṣya) and Bangla মানুষ (mānuṣa). They speak the same variety of language as the Sinti which exhibits strong German influence.[3]
