Hungarian Roma in the Slovak republic and Romania are bilingual (Slovak and Hungarian or Romanian and Hungarian).
The cause of the drastic circumstances of the Roma is not caused by a defect in their culture but rather by serious flaws in the integrity of leaders in mainstream society as well as professional incompetence and irresponsibility on the part of educational officials.
The Roma survive on what they might be given whereas the politicians are able to make use of more than their fair share of funds which were directly, or indirectly, justified in the name of Roma children.

Roman mythology is the set of beliefs, rituals, and other observances concerning the supernatural held or practiced by the ancient Romans from early periods until Christianity finally completely supplanted the native religions of the Roman Empire.
The original religion of the early Romans was so modified by the addition of numerous and conflicting beliefs in later times, and by the assimilation of a vast amount of Greek mythology, that it cannot be reconstructed precisely.
Because extensive changes in the religion had already taken place before the literary tradition began, its origins were in most cases unknown to the early Roman writers on religion, such as the 1st century BC scholar Marcus Terentius Varro.

Roma were widely believed to have psychic powers (see the popular stereotype of the Gypsy fortune-teller), and some romantics attribute the invention of the Tarot cards to them.
The Roma are popularly known in English as ''Gypsies'' or ''Gipsies'', a word which is derived from ''Egypt'', from a former belief among outsiders that they were natives of Egypt.

 European Committee on Romani Emancipation
Most official reports on Roma education published during the last decade do not seem to have recognized, or if they did, have failed to acknowledge the pressure brought upon Roma families by the government and educational officials to accept the affront of placing their children in Special schools.
On the other hand, as a result of previous forums between ECRE and Roma parents, on the issue of education in general, and as a result of our regular individual contacts with Roma, we knew that in reality Roma parents feel education is important for their children.
Unless the basic professional capability of the Roma population is radically improved, the so-called transfer costs from the central budget to support social welfare, family benefits and the unemployed, for the whole population, and not just the Roma segment, are likely to become increasingly unsustainable by 2030.
