Gurbeti (also Kurbet or Kurbat or غربتی in Persian) are a sub-group of the

Muslim Roma.[4][5] The Gurbeti make up approximately two thirds of the population of Roma in Macva, many of whom work in agriculture.[4] In Kosovo, other Romani groups viewed the Gurbeti negatively.[6]

Muslim Gurbeti at Cyprus

In the 1960 Constitution of Cyprus they were considered as part of the Turkish Cypriot community.[7] Once the Gurbeti lived all over Cyprus. After 1975, with the Third Vienna Agreement they migrated, along with the majority of the Turkish Cypriots to Northern Cyprus. Immigration to the United Kingdom and Turkey has also taken place. They describe themselves as Turkish in terms of ethnicity and speak Kurbet language and Cypriot Turkish.[8] In the 17th century, some migrated to Ottoman Rumelia.[9] In the Republic of Cyprus most live in the area of Agios Antonios in Limassol, and in the villages of Makounta, Stavrokonnou and Polis-Chrysochou in Paphos.[7] Persons belonging to the Roma community remain social and economically marginalised despite some government efforts.[10]

Gurbeti in the Balkans

In

Vuk Stefanović Karadžić's Serbian dictionary, the word Gurbet means "Gypsy foreign workers". The word is derived from Turkish gurbet, meaning "emigrate".[11] The first mentions of nomadic Roma attributed as Gurbeti ancestors, from Ottoman Cyprus, is from the 17th century.[9] In 1941, most of the Yugoslav Roma settled permanently, with the exception of the Gurbeti in Montenegro.[3]

However, other sources about the Gurbeti have said that their Ancestors once came from Moldova and Wallachia, at the end of the 1850s after Slavery in Romania and settled in the Balkan, and speak a Vlax dialect.[12]

In other parts at the Balkans like in Bulgaria, Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Greece, the Gurbet are called Pečalbarstvo.[13]

Anatolia

Ottoman sources from 16th century mentioned from Gurbet a

Dulkadiroğlu, Kahramanmaraş.[14]

Culture

The Gurbeti in the Balkans share some cultural features with the

Rumelian Turkish
at the Balkans.

Diaspora

There is a Gurbeti diaspora, such as in Austria and German; these were recent migrants, mostly as Gastarbeiter unskilled workers, have since integrated into Austrian and German society. Some of Gurbeti men married Austrian and German women. The Host population didnt saw them as Roma, only as Yugoslavian[12]

Language

Their Kurbet is a variety of Para-Romani.[15] In Kosovo, the Gurbeti speech have either a dominant Serbian substratum, or Albanian substratum. The Džambazi (Acrobatics and Horse trading) nomadic Muslim Romani group, speak a sub-dialect of Kurbet. The origin of the Romani loan words in Croatian are most likely from Gurbeti, who settled predominantly from Bosnia and Herzegovina.[16] Rade Uhlik translated the Gospel of Luke into Bosnian Gurbeti as O keriben pal e Devleskre bičhade. This was published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1938, and published in Belgrade.
