Malagasy people



The Malagasy (in French also les Malgaches) ethnic group forms the vast majority of the population of Madagascar. They are divided in to two racially and socio-economically distinct subgroups, the Merina and Betsileo of the central plateaux around Antananarivo and Fianarantsoa, and the cĂ´tiers ("coastal dwellers") elsewhere in the country.
