They are known collectively in the Romani language as Romane or Rromane (depending on the dialect concerned) and also as Romany , Romanies , Romanis , Roma or Roms . Romani are widely dispersed , with their largest concentrated populations in Europe, especially the Roma of Central and Eastern Europe and Anatolia , followed by the Kale of Iberia and Southern France. The Americas are also home to large numbers of Romani.
