==== Usage notes ====
Because the latter two senses derive from a negative stereotype of the Romani people, and because the Pro-Roma association demonisates the word țigan claiming to be purely exonymous (despite its presence in many dialects, particularly Balkanic Romani and Iberic Romani under the form čingaren) , it is likely to offend Romani people (and not only them, also the people called ”Țigani romanizați” which are of mixed origin, not solely Romani) . See the note regarding the use of țigan.
