		The Merina conquered land in Madagascar, previously inhabited by the Vazimba, a name that is also associated with the vitality of nature, and a name given to anybody who is not in relation to the ancestral lands.
		The actual origins of the Merina is, however, still a subject of speculation; although their land is geographically close to Africa, their language and social interaction reflect links with western Indonesia, the southern Celebes and Borneo.
		Merina expansions coincided with the reign of the Merina king Andrianampoinimerina (ca.

	Folklore in Madagascar (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Merina construct their traditional history on the basis of descent groups (razana or tarika), which are confirmed by possession of territory (Bloch, Placing the Dead; Condominas).
		Merina people are so sensitive to questions of descent that a polite speaker will mention the last category in society today (Verin, personal communication).
		The turning point in Merina history was the passage from genealogical unity as the source of power to a political state, which could be dominated by one group that possessed firearms.

	Madagascar - Peoples of the Central Highlands
		Merina territory originally consisted only of the lands encircling the current capital of Antananarivo, but as they expanded in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it came to include most of the northern central highlands, now the province of Antananarivo.
		The Merina are considered the most "Asian" of the Malagasy ethnic groups in terms of their physical characteristics and culture.
		The plausibility of this thesis is supported by the fact that the Merina continue to practice endogamy, although it is also plausible that Merina ancestors may simply have migrated directly to Madagascar without settling first in Africa.
