Romani people in Hungary (also known as roma or Romani Hungarians ; Hungarian : magyarországi romák, magyar cigányok ) are Hungarian citizens of Romani descent . According to the 2011 census, they comprise 3.18% of the total population, which alone makes them the largest minority in the country,[ 21] although various estimations have put the number of Romani people as high as 8.8% of the total population.[ 22] [ 6] [ 23] They are sometimes referred as Hungarian Gypsies , but that is sometimes considered to be a racial slur .[ 24] [ 25] [ 26]
