 * This would be a good place to discuss page moves and perhaps start a requested move. You may want to read the previous discussion linked above first.  Certes (talk) 11:35, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, This talk page. Mro and Mru the same ethnic not different language, cultural , language script.ect... not be confuse with Awa Khami people .Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mro(Mru) people (talk • contribs) 12:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Paging, who knows about these things. Certes (talk) 12:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't really know anything about this, I'm just going off sources, but does. Mro and Mru are the same people and language because they're the same name. But more than one people uses that name. As Steve pointed out, one of those peoples prefers the pronunciation "Mro" and one prefers "Mru". So that means Mro and Mru are not the same people and language. They simultaneously are and are not, and you can argue either way depending on your sources. That's why we have a dab page.

Steve, can you verify that Mro (Unicode block) is used for the Mru (Mrung) language, not for the Mro (Khami) language? I assume that's the case, given that it's used in Bangadesh. — kwami (talk) 00:51, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

 * So, if I've understanding that correctly, the speakers of the Mruish language use both 'Mru' and 'Mro', and are not to be confused with (i.e. are distinct from) the Chin people known as 'Mru' and 'Mro' -- in other words, exactly what we say on this dab page. So what's the issue exactly? Unless perhaps it's a PRIMARYTOPIC issue? — kwami (talk) 10:35, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

{{{{ And ... Resercher Professor ..written about Khami or Awakhami....also ... we can see here .. So not to be confused with Mro or Mro and Khami or Awa Khami..They are not the same group and Language, Language Script, traditional dress .....ect........ and also we can see written by differently names..... .KHAMI (a) The word is written in so many and so various ways by different authors that it is doubtful whether they form one or several ethnic groups. Mr. Shafer considers62 there are Khami and Khimi. Lewin6 writes Kumi and Kweymmee, Hutchinson64 Kumi or Khami, Embree and Thomas6s have noted Kami, Kwemi, Khami, Kumi, Kwey mee, St. John6 writes hka mies (Hkway-mies) etc... According to St. John, the word he has noted down is the very one used by the people when speaking about themselves, this word meaning « man ». Lewin's opinion is different -and perhaps less simple than St. John's one- :« Kwey or Khwee in Arakanese, means « a dog », and mee is an affix conveying the idea of men; kwey mee therefore means « dog men ». Now the Kumi wear a very scanty breech cloth, which is so adjusted, that a long end hangs down behind them in the manner of a tail; add to this that the dog is a favourite article of food among them, and the derivation of the name seems pretty clear. »67, (b) As for the number of Khami living in the Chittagong Hill Tracts Lewin said : « 2.000 », Hutchinson does not say anything; in the Census of 1901, Khami and Kuki were counted together (which is completely erroneous) and it was found there were 1.468 Kuki and Kumi in the Bohmong Circle, one only in the Chakma Circle and none in the Mong Circle. How many are they now ? There is no exact information to be relied upon, we might only suppose they are no more than 2.000 souls. (c) The Khami are living exclusively in the Bohmong Circle, on the top of the hills in the Southern Sangu and Matamuri rivers area. Some are to be found, more or less scattered, down to the Burmese border; they are more numerous in Arakan. 62. Shafer, Classification... p.103. 63. Lewin, Hill Tracts.., 1869, p. 88. 64.

Reorganise?
Now that the dust has settled on Mro-Khimi language and Mro-Khimi people, should we move or reorganise this page and/or MRO? redirects here. Options include: Other suggestions welcome. Certes (talk) 11:46, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Move this dab to Mro, as all entries might be called Mro but only 2/5 might be called Mru
 * 2) Remove Mro-specific entries from this dab, and redirect Mro to MRO, each linking to the other in See also
