It's quite simple really if you speak Romany you're likely to be a gypsy, if you don't speak it, but speak traveller "cant" then you're probably a traveller. Over the centuries the settled people have labelled travellers "gypsies" due to ignorance, to the extent that some travellers now think they are gypsies. It's a huge can of worms which will not be helped by the European Parliament thinking they can call ALL travelling people "Roma."

My refusal to be labelled a Gypsy/Traveller has nothing to do with racism, or a superiority complex, but consider this, if you were English and the authorites labelled you as Spanish, or French, surely you would deny that label.
