fun fact: over 80% of all its fauna & flora is unique solely to Madagascar. One example are the Lemurs; there are approximately 32 different types of lemurs in existence today, all of which are endemic to Madagascar. It is a fascinating creature because apart from human being, it is the only other mammal on earth to have blue eyes.

Autre sujet : il y a beaucoup d'insécurité pour le moment , est-ce que vous la ressentez quand vous marchez dans les rues à pied comme vous le faites ? Filmez vous avec une caméra ou bien votre téléphone ?. Excusez moi de vous écrire en francais car je ne maîtrises pas l'anglais. Au plaisir de vous lire Paul .

Is malagasy related to any indomalay languages at all?

@pddembowski

Ай бұрын

Hi for these types of questions, just go to Bing Copilot and type in your question. Here is the response I received: **Malagasy**, the language spoken in Madagascar and adjacent islands, indeed has **interesting linguistic connections**. Let's explore: 1. **Austronesian Origins**: - The Malagasy languages belong to the **Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian)** family of languages. - These languages are spoken on Madagascar and nearby islands. - They share a common origin with other Austronesian languages found across the Pacific and Southeast Asia. 2. **Settlement by Indonesian People**: - Around **2,000 years ago**, Madagascar was settled by an **Indonesian people**. - As these settlers established themselves, the various Malagasy dialects **diversified**. - The close relationship between these dialects reflects their shared ancestry. 3. **Loanwords and Influences**: - Malagasy includes **numerous loanwords** from other languages due to historical interactions. - Some of these influences come from **Bantu, Swahili, Arab, English, and French** sources. - These linguistic borrowings enrich the Malagasy vocabulary. 4. **Closely Related Language**: - Interestingly, the Malagasy language is most closely related to the **Ma'anyan language**, which is still spoken on **Borneo**¹². In summary, while Malagasy has its unique characteristics, its roots lie within the broader Austronesian language family, connecting it to other languages across distant lands and seas. 🌏🗺.
