## Image Caption

Map showing the movement of the [Romani](https://www.worldhistory.org/Romani/) people between approximately 500 and 1500 CE. The dates used on this map are commonly accepted approximations based on historical accounts and linguistic evidence. Some dates, such as the timeframe in which Romani speakers moved out of the Indian subcontinent, can only be loosely estimated based on linguistic and genetic research.
