Bara
,no edit summary
About 3,3% of the population of Madagascar are Bara. The Bara people originate from the southwest of Madagascar, near [[Toliara]] (Tulear). Today they live at the southern end of the central highlands, near Isalo, Ihosy and Betroka. The relaxed town of Ihosy is the regional capital. The Bara had two kingdoms, one of which survived until it was disbanded by the French. The Bara were never conquered by the powerful [[Merina]].
