Ethnic group From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doms in Libya speak the Domari language. They immigrated to the territory of the present day Libya from South Asia, particularly from India, in Byzantine times.[1] (Dom or Nawar) people self-segregated themselves for centuries from the dominant culture of Libya. Historically, Gypsies in Libya have provided musical entertainment as weddings and other celebrations. The Dom people in Libya include subgroups like Nawar, Halebi and Ghagar.[2][3]
