In Germany, minority protection is bound to autochthone, i.e. indigene minorities. Therefore, the Roma/Sinti languages (Romani) are not covered by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europ%C3%A4ische_Charta_der_Regional-_oder_Mi.nderheitensprachen).Woozle 12:26, 22.

Thank you. Is there a criterion that excludes Romani from being counted as autochthone? Have they not spoken Romani languages in Germany incessantly for some 600 years?

Yes, by they are not seen as a "German" minority (like the Sorbs, Friesians etc.), but as European vagrants, a moving crap game. There was a lot of political pressure on the German government to include at least the Roma in the list of autochthonos minorities. Instead the German government compromised on some points (which I do not remember). Woozle 12:26, 22. Aug. 2016 (CEST)
