Talk:Romani people in Algeria

Problems
This article is extremely poorly grounded. Of the three sources cited, none supports any of the statements made in this article, not even the population quoted. Both Peoples on the Move and the Dom Research Center link give the Roma of Algeria as "Afrikaya", Xoraxa, and possibly Manouche - not Nawar, Halebi, or Ghagar. Customary Strangers makes no mention of Roma in Algeria at all, and really shouldn't have been linked here. Both Xoraxa and Manouche are European Roma groups, who - if they are present in Algeria at all - could only have arrived from Europe much later than the Byzantine period, and would speak either Romani or French, certainly not Domari. No one seems to know anything about the "Afrikaya". Nothing in these sources provides any data on the role of these groups in Algeria, nor on Algerian attitudes to them. - Lameen Souag (talk) 15:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
