English to Russian translations [PRO]
History / Extermination of Gypsies in Hungary

English term or phrase: The Pharrajimos

It is apparently the Roma term for the Gypsy Holocaust. My question is: how is it pronounced, and how is it transliterated in Russian.

Explanation:
Такого термина в русском языке нет. Циганские политики еще страшно далеки от того, чтобы набрать такой вес, чтобы заиметь свой цыганский Холокост. А уж про уничтожение цыган в Венгрии так вообще известно, возможно, только узким специалистам-историкам. Потому пишите "массовое уничтожение цыган" и все дела.

the pharrajimos геноцид цыган

Explanation:
судя по всему, термин 'Параимос/Параймос' оскорбителен для цыган:

"геноцид" же передаёт существо массового истребления цыган в годы Второй мировой войны
