Lovari (Roma)

Lovari (Roma)

Lovari is a subgroup of the Romani people, who speak their own dialect, influenced by Hungarian. They live throughout Europe, in Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany, Italy, and Greece.

Most Lovari are Catholics.

Their historical trade was horse-trading and fortune-telling. Nowadays they are busy in trading cars and expensive things and show-business.

Lovari's traditional costume is based on Hungarian national costume and is seldom used nowadays. They also have very strict contamination customs.
