Racial Purity statement certainly needs some reference, " As a conservative tribe, the Merina had little intermarriage with the people of African descent, because they are highly particular about racial purity."

Agreed. --Dvyost 15:02, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Population of Madagascar

"Boasting a population of 15 million, which equals about one-sixteenth of the country's population,". According to [[1]] and [2] the population of Madagascar is 80-120 million. 15million is less then one-sixteenth of this. --195.0.220.117 (talk) 15:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merina people's origin

May I know how the Merina people of Madagascar had origins from various Oceanian groups? Is it because the Merina people have the Polynesian motif or is it for a different reason? Please let me know, and I'm sorry if this question is stupid, but I'm curious. 2601:145:600:ACA0:23A9:53ED:C875:61BC (talk) 18:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
