The Doms of Jordan

The Doms of Jordan, numbering approximately 12,000 people, are Unengaged and Unreached. They are a small, historically marginalized ethnic group who belong to the wider Dom people—an Indo‑Aryan diaspora community found across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Eurasia. They mostly adhere to Sunni Islam and Domari is their primary language.
