Irish Travellers

Irish Travellers are a distinct ethnic community originating from Ireland, traditionally known for a nomadic lifestyle, traveling across the country in caravans. They have their own language, called Shelta, and unique cultural practices, including music, storytelling, and specific social customs. Historically marginalized and often facing discrimination, Irish Travellers are recognized for their strong sense of community and resilience. While many now live in settled accommodations, others continue to maintain aspects of their traditional way of life, balancing their cultural identity with modern living.
