Măgherani (Hungarian: Nyárádmagyarós or colloquially Magyarós, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈɲaːraːdmɒɟɒroːʃ]) is a commune in Mureș County, Transylvania, Romania composed of three villages:

  • Măgherani

Demographics[edit]

The commune has an absolute Hungarian majority. According to the 2011 Census it has a population of 1,270 of which 92.91% or 1,180 are Hungarian.
