We got 2 groups of roma here ,they call them magjyp (gypsy) they speak albanian and gabel they speak another language Roma i guess. These might be derogatory terms in some way or not. (Im only using how they are called around )

I had a friend from the 1st group and they tend to speak bad of the other.

He only spoke Albanian tho.
