| Hindus make up 48%, Roman Catholic 23.6%, other Christians 8.6%, Muslims 16.6% and non-religious 0.4% while other religions up to 2.5%, and an additional 0.3% didn't specify their religious beliefs.[28] Most Franco-Mauritians and Mauritian Creoles are Christian. Almost all the Muslims and the Hindu population are of South Asian origin. Some Muslims are also from the Middle East[citation needed]. Hindus comes from Hindi, Malayalam, Marathi, and Tamil speaking regions of India. While most Muslims came from Urdu and Arabic speaking areas of South Asia and Middle East. These languages are still preserved through the existence of different socio-cultural organizations and with the school systems obliging primary schools' students to study an oriental language. A minority of people are of Chinese descent, many of whom have embraced Christianity, following mainly Roman Catholicism. Some follow Buddhism and Confucian traditions. live resultsonline poker | |
