A nomad (“people without fixed habitation") is a member of a community of people without fixed habitation who regularly move to and from the same areas, including nomadic hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads (owning livestock), and tinker or trader nomads. As of 1995, there were an estimated 30–40 million nomads in the world.
The best-known examples in Europe are
gypsies, Roma, Sinti, and Irish travelers. Many other ethnic groups and
communities are traditionally nomadic; such as Berbers, Kazakhs, and Bedouin.
