Roma In Croatia: Inferences on Paternal Genetic Heritage of the Bayash

The Bayash consist of numerous and small Romani groups speaking different dialects of the Romanian language and living dispersedly in Croatia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and to the lesser extent in Macedonia, Greece, Ukraine, Slovakia and Slovenia. The etnonyms Bayash or Boyash are used in Croatia and Hungary, Banyash, Karavlasi or Romanian Gypsy in Serbia and Băeşi in Romania. Diverse Bayash groups are also often called by professionyms based on their traditional occupations (Lingurari – spoon makers, Fusari – spindle makers Koritari – trough makers, Rudari – miners). Larger Bayash groups migrated to Croatia most likely during the 19th century, after abolition of slavery in Romania. This study is based on the field work in eastern (Baranja) and northwestern (Međimurje) Croatia where 156 Bayash adult men were recruited. As the exact place of origin and the time of arrival of the Bayash in Croatia are not precisely documented in written historical records or kept in the collective Bayash memory, we attempt to address the ambiguities regarding their origin, migration history and admixture based on the analysis of the battery of 22 diagnostic SNP/indel and 17 microsatellite (DYS19, DYS385, DYS389I, DYS398II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, GATA H4) Y chromosome markers.
