Sinti

In Sinti usage, the ethnonym is traditionally understood as deriving from Sindh, a region in northwestern South Asia (now Pakistan), functioning as a toponymic self-designation.

Sinti pl (normally plural, singular Sinto)

1. The Sinti people, an ethnic group originating from Sindh in northwestern India (now Pakistan) who migrated to Europe in the medieval period.
   • 2024, USC Shoah Foundation, Roma and Sinti:

     The place of origin of the Sinti (singular: Sinto) is clearly spelled out in their ethnonym: they come from the Sindh, an area in the North-West of India (now Pakistan). Therefore the ethnonym 'Sinto' is also a toponym.

   • 1411-1419, cited in Rinaldo DiRicchardi-Reichard, To be or not to be Sinti, Gypsy, and Romani: Crisis of Sinti Ethnic Identity:

     The Sinti first appeared in Switzerland in 1411... the Sinti said that they were pilgrims and they intended to return to the land of Sindh.

• In Sinti usage, Sinti and Roma are understood as related but distinct ethnic groups. Sinti speak Sinte Romani (also called Sintitikes or Romenes), which is not mutually intelligible with the Romani language (Rromanes).
