Yeniche is distinct from Romani
From the Romani people page: Though often confused with them, the Romani people are culturally different from Irish Travellers and the Yenish people, two groups who may be related to each other.

The word Yeniche appears nowhere else on that page. The lede here is thus misleading to link the two. The fact that she was VP of Romani Association is solid evidence of acceptance by that group. So clarifications are needed: 1. Did she self-identify as Romani? Or was her identity based on foster parents or other relationships? 2. What is the evidence that she was born Yeniche?

 * Thank you. She was asked why she writes in German, and not in Romanes. So I thought Swiss alone wasn't good. I may be wrong thinking that Romani was a more general term, under which Yeniche and others can be summarised. Please correct to Yeniche then. Everybody can edit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:59, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
