"By the beginning of the 20th century, a massive immigration of Khoraxané Roma reached South America, in first place Brazil, and settled there. Many however went ahead in their journey and arrived in Chile. Since then, this enigmatic group is the absolute majority of Roma in Chile, and the only ″autochthonous″ Gypsy group in this country. So much that as in Europe the word Khoraxanó is equivalent to ″Saracene Gypsy″, in South America is translated as ″Gitano Chileno″."
