Romani people in Denmark constitute an insignificant minority group in the Kingdom of Denmark. Based on 2013 data, the Council of Europe has estimated that around 5,500 Romani people live in Denmark (0.1% of the Danish population).[1] The Danish Roma minority speak Scandoromani.[3]
The first recorded Romani people in Denmark came from Scotland in the year 1505.[4] Danish police drove out most Roma in Denmark by the 1939.[5] Today, Danish Roma are concentrated in Helsingør and Copenhagen.[2]
