Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was no consensus to merge. It's been 3 years and no reliable sources have been produced to show they are the same. (non-admin closure)--Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:41, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Pnong people be merged into Mnong people. They are the same ethnicity, Mnong is called Nong or Ph'nong or Bu dang elsewhere. 115.78.209.9 (talk) 01:42, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful to have some WP:Reliable and WP:Verifiable sources provided that support the proposal by stating that the two names are used for the same people (ethnicity). I see significant usage of both terms without seeing sources saying they're the same. (I certainly haven't looked exaustively.) What I see is consistent with the following^[1]

... the terms Pnong, Mnong, Bahnoong derive from a Mon-Khmer word meaning "mountain" and are used to indicate both highlanders in general and a specific ethnicity in Dac Lac and Lam Dong known as Mnong.

however this does not say they are the same people {ethnicity). The Mnong language article says that the people in Cambodia speak the Kraol dialect which is not understood by the three groups in Vietnam. This implies to me that they're a different Ethnic group.

Mnong is Hmong?[edit]

Hi. Is Mnong people the same ethnic group as the Hmong people? Just different latin-letter spelling? If not, what is the relation and differencies between these two distinct groups then? RhinoMind (talk) 18:37, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
