I wonder if [Suri] is the same group as the Surma? -- Gyrofrog (talk) 28 June 2005 19:23 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure, but their language belongs to the Surmic group. - Mustafaa 28 June 2005 19:29 (UTC)

I've also seen a reference (in a tourist book) to the Mursi. Suri, Surma, and Mursi are all known for the women's use of lip plates. Also I will copy this discussion to Talk:Suri. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 28 June 2005 19:56 (UTC)

These are all languages of the Southeast Pastoral group of the Surmic languages. Suri and Surma seem to be generic terms; there two subgroups, the Chai and the Tirma, that call themselves 'Surma' and their languages 'Suri'. Mursi is another variety of the same cluster. All of this according to some SIL Sociolinguistic Survey Reports (Girard 2002, Dimmendaal 2002). The groups are very closely related both linguistically and culturally. — mark ✎ 28 June 2005 21:44 (UTC)

Comment please add an additonal entry to this, Suris are a tribe of Pashtuns/ Afghans, one of India's most famous rulers was Sher Shah Suri so a separate heading is needed for them

I've fixed it by turning Suri into a disambig and splitting the article into Suri (Pashtun) and Suri (Ethiopia). — mark ✎ 20:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
