I added a bit about emigration from Minas Gerais to the US, particularly Eastern Massachusetts (Boston) at the end of the economy section. It strikes me as quite important - tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of people from Minas have moved to the Boston area, and are the dominant illegal immigrant population

[edit] Merger of data from Minas dos Matos Gerais

On 8 January 2006, User:Big Adamsky suggested that that the information from the article Minas dos Matos Gerais be merged into Minas Gerais. Given the size of the current article and its potential for growth, I think that it would be better to merge the material from Minas dos Matos Gerais and the data from the History section of Minas Gerais into a new artcile History of Minas Gerais, leaving just a summary of the history in the main article. What do you all think? Signed: Bejnar 18:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronouciation

Does the standart pronounciation of Minas Gerais really is ˌminɐzʒeˈɾajs? I was born in Belo Horizonte and my pronounciation is more like ˌminɐʒeˈɾajs, I've tested with my mother and other friends and the result was the same. Does a non mineiro Brazilian pronouce it otherwise? Bruno Gripp 22:56, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I have lived in BH for most of my life, and also in Divinópolis, and I don't remember hearing anyone drop the /z/. Macgreco 01:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
