Malagasy language
Malagasy (;〔Laurie Bauer, 2007, ''The Linguistics Student’s Handbook'', Edinburgh〕 ) is an Austronesian language and the national language of Madagascar. Most people in Madagascar speak it as a first language as do some people of Malagasy descent elsewhere.
==Classification==
The Malagasy language is the westernmost member of the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family.〔(Malagasy's family tree on Ethnologue )〕 Its distinctiveness from nearby African languages was noted in 1708 by the Dutch scholar Adriaan Reland.〔(New palaeozoogeographical evidence for the settlement of Madagascar )〕 It is related to the Malayo-Polynesian languages of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and more closely to the East Barito languages spoken in Borneo except for its Polynesian morphophonemics.〔Wittmann, Henri (1972). "Le caractère génétiquement composite des changements phonétiques du malgache." ''Proceedings of the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences'' 7.807-10. La Haye: Mouton.()〕 According to Roger Blench (2010), the earliest form of language spoken on Madagascar could have had some non-Austronesian substrata.
