Welcome to Madagascar, the convergence of the east African Bantu and Asian people. Madagascar is an island c
ountry lying off the south eastern coast of Africa. It is the fourth largest island in the world, after Greenland, New Guinea, and Borneo.
In this land, you will encounter a people who look unlike any other African population. They look what could typically be described as Blasian. A hybrid of Asian and black African. As a people, the Malagasy , as people from Madagascar are known as, represent a unique blend of Asian and African cultures found nowhere else in the world. Although Asian features predominate on the whole, African ancestry is present and African influences in Malagasy material and nonmaterial culture are evident. The history and precise nature of this relationship, however, remains a matter of debate.
Centuries of intermarriages created the Malagasy people, who primarily speak Malagasy, an Austronesian language with Bantu, Malay, Arabic, French, and English influences. Most of the genetic makeup of the average Malagasy, however, reflects an almost equal blend of Austronesian and Bantu.
One study concludes that Madagascar was first settled approximately 1,200 years ago by a very small group containing approximately 30 women, with 28 of them of maritime Southeast Asian descent and 2 of African descent. But this result is not consistent with more extensive data accumulated. The Malagasy population formed through the intermixing of the first founding population with later immigrants.
Human settlement of Madagascar occurred during or before the mid-first millennium AD by Austronesian peoples, presumably arriving on outrigger canoes from present-day Indonesia. Around the year 900, Bantu people from East Africa crossed the Mozambique Channel to join them.
More than nine-tenths of the population is Malagasy, which is divided into about 20 ethnic groups. The largest and most dominant of the groups is the Merina people, who are scattered throughout the island. The name Merina (Imerina) is said to mean "Elevated People," deriving from the fact that they lived on the plateau. The second largest group is the Betsimisaraka (The Inseparable Multitude), who live generally in the east. The third most numerous group is the Betsileo (The Invincible Multitude), who inhabit the plateau around Fianarantsoa. Other important peoples are the Tsimihety (Those Who Do Not Cut Their Hair), the Sakalava (People of the Long Valley), the Antandroy (People of the Thorn Bush), the Tanala (People of the Forest), the Antaimoro (People of the Banks), and the Bara (a name of uncertain origin).
Language.
Although Madagascar is located geographically close to Bantu-speaking Africa, Malagasy is a standardized version of Merina, an Austronesian language. It shares a high degree of mutual intelligibility with the Malay language of Indonesia. Nevertheless, there are a number of Bantu words in the language, as well as some phonetic and grammatical modifiers of Bantu origin. There exists numerous local variations of Malagasy, all of which are mutually intelligible. Bantu elements, which exist in every dialect, appear to have been established for some time.
Religion.
Almost half of the population is Christian, with more than one-fourth of the population adherent to Protestantism and about one-fifth to Roman Catholicism. Conversion to Christianity has not eliminated the observation of traditional religious rites, however, particularly those involving the dead. A community of Sunni Muslims is found in the northwest.
Economy.
Despite the importance of intensive rice cultivation, the land is used primarily for pastoral purposes. Cattle are kept in all parts of the island; although fewer are found in the dense forest areas of the eastern escarpment, elsewhere pastoralism predominates, most often in coexistence with the cultivation of subsistence crops. On the plateau the valley floors and irrigable slopes are mainly used for growing rice. The forest peoples traditionally grew hill rice, after cutting and burning the forest; this practice continues, although it is discouraged by the government, which promotes the establishment of permanent irrigated rice fields.
The nation of Madagascar is a classic demonstration that two vastly different ethno-racial groups can converge to create a totally new identity. Thank you for watching to the end, and I'll see you in the next video.
I would say that black people are most unique that anyone else
Say THAT again. 👍🏽
@@AfroArtistaFilms 2:27 name of song, *please!*
I think that it's because we have been grouped as one people over the years rather than separate race of people. But the reality is that black people is as diverse as any other races.
Take Asians for instance, in the past, I would have classified any Asian as Chinese, I come to understand that a lot of them were about being called Chinese, if they were not. Each Asian people identify as their own and not as one, but as an outsider you could make the argument that they are all one people. Europeans did the same.
But black people from all over the world were group as one even though we are different, so now in today's day, when we have a larger window to look through, we realized how much of a diverse people we are, but still identify as one people.
Black is Black, and will always be Black. Love Black.
@@blackbway they are more diverse, by far. I know that white and others identify them as one group, and black people especially outside Africa identify themselves as one. But Africans are at the very least genetically and linguistically more diverse than the rest of humanity combined. In my mind Africa or black is not a race
Genetically black people, especially subsaharan Africans, are the most diverse group of humans. That's what makes them unique in some paradoxical sense.
I am from Papua New Guinea (shares the same land mass with Indonesia) and we have the same blend of Asian, Polynesian, Micronesian, Afro, darker skinned to lighter skinned people. We even have black blonde looking type in Papua New Guinea. Good to know we have a similar type of island looking people in the African part of the world. Greetings from Papua New Guinea
Papuans aren't Afro though.
They are dark skinned and many can have tightly curled hair. Arguably you can even call them Black. But not African.
People from PNG originally came from Africa thousands of years ago. That's why you have the distinct African coily hair and other similar features.
There are other groups in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines etc whose ancestors were from Africa. The hair texture and features always point back to the Motherlwnd, Africa.
@A Ku They are African Descent. Just as Jamaicans are not African but they are African Descent. Notice the distinct difference? African Descent are born and raised out of the continental for generations, have no cultural ties back to Africa, but their ancestors came from Africa. Africans on the other end are directly from Africa, they know where in Africa they are from. Their African culture and roots are STRONG. They are not diluted with other races. Get it now?
In summary, if your predominant ancestors are from Africa, ie you have African DNA in you, you are mixed race with African DNA, your ancestors were taken from Africa hundreds of years ago as slaves or they left Afriica hundreds or thousands if years ago, you are proudly African Descent from New Papua Guinea, Philippines, Brazil, Argentina, Trinidad, Bahamas, Polynesia etc. If you are born and raised in Africa, you are African. One has born and raised to the Motherland, the other one wasn't but he or she is still a Descendant from African Ancestors.
Knowing this TRUTH will make us realise that we are the MAJORITY and not a minority as we have been lied to believe. We are mighty united than we are divided as so called 'blacks'.
It's pathetic to continue calling yourself a black colour given to you by your colonisers, oppressors, and former slave masters object and when we are proudly African Descent and African. Simple!
@@AKu-xs5vg
If you were to take a group of Nigerians and place them on and island isolated from Nigerians on the African continent, within 50,000 years, they may LOOK the same but the genetic marker will become different due to isolation and intermixing among themselves, while Nigerians on the continent would continue to experience genetic diversity.
It's the same with Papuans, Fijians, and other Black Pacific Islanders who are now in those areas, just were just able to retain their original African phenotype and archaic African genotype, while their African bros/sis that stayed on continent changed over time due to Africa's various genetic diversity.
@@kingofhearts1072 Okay, but those Papuans/Fijians and other Black Oceanians are genetically Eurasian.
Sure, they came from Africans and evolved a new Eurasian genetic identity after leaving Africa.
That Eurasian genetic identity is the same one that the rest of Eurasia (Chinese, Indian, Siberian) has.
Black Pacific Islanders are no more African than the rest of Eurasian humanity. Black, yes, but not African.
It is so great to see the diversity of Malagasy peoples being covered in so much details in this video. I'm a Betsileo myself although I mostly speak Merina as I grew up in Antananarivo. Anyway, have a nice day everyone. God bless you all ♥️

Great video, it made me nostalgic. I was born in Antsirabe and later moved to Fandriana, i still remember my childhood there. The catholic school I attended was beside a rice field, we sang the national anthem every morning for the flag raising followed by a song to Jesus. I no longer speak or understand Malagasy but will always remember the beauty that surrounded me back then.

I would also add Sao Tome, Morroco, and Egypt. They all have various degrees of mixed people.

Mauritius also! Madagascar is NOT the only African country with mixed precolonial African and Asian populations. For that matter, all the East African countries with Swahili populations have African-Asian mixed populations if you consider Arabia a part of Asia.
I mean those africans and asian decent live together and with the mixed one but in other country is small procent is not like this arats raoed the whole africa and 400 years ago i think its not mix anymore you can say they have arab blood 5/10 procent
@@1NatureGod no, Mauritius is one, albeit, tiny independent nation with the majority Creole population that is African Asian mixed. On the other hand, Kenya and Tanzania have large ethnic minority mixed populations of Swahilis. However, in those areas and on some islands like Zanzibar, Lamu and Malindi the percentage of the African Asian mixed population is 100%. My point is Madagascar is NOT the only African nation with people who have mixed African and Asian ancestry. Also, don’t forget North African nations either with Arabs mixed with indigenous Amazigh people.
Also Cape Verde
Fact, they aren't the only one
Seychelles and Comoros as well…
Madagascar is extremely unique, we welcome everyone to visit us and spend good time on the island.
Considering that humans originate in the East African savannah, to think that humans set out from Africa into South Asia , sailed into Oceania and circled around almost all the way to where they originally set out from thousands of years earlier is pretty amazing.
Nice misinformation lmao. It's the other way around. South Asian tamils are nor related to African, and it has been documented by the Portuguese that Southeast Asian sailed to East Africa instead of the other way around.
@@azhariarif human life started in east africa, so your statement is false
@@Xyzpklmm If you go back far enough, everyone has a single ancestor. But why is it significant today?

They take it and you're still poor. Mixing your race with everyone else especially the oppressors on the continent gives them full rights to your land and your children's future. Food for thought.
Madagascar is the cousin of southeast asian countries who travelled from asia and settled in africa. I'm from the philippines and some of the pictures look like some filipinos. We have that kind of looks like a native filipino. But due to colonization and intermarriage happen in the philippines the looks of filipinos evolved, like some filipino look like a person from asia, europe, latin american and oceania. Philippines is also austronesian like indonesia and malaysia. Madagascar is our african cousins. Hope to visit Madagascar soon if i had a chance to visit this beautiful country. Wishing for the best our cousin in Africa.
They are just product of indeginous africans and asian slaves brought by europeans
@@Xyzpklmm yes, but the language family does have similarities to the Austronesian group, its either that native people from Madagascar travelled from there up to what currently is South East Asia or the Taiwan natives traveling down the islands in South East Asia up to Polynesia and seemingly also Madagascar

Madagascar 🇲🇬 has always been my favorite island in the world 🌍. The People are Malagasy. A mixture of Afrikan Bantu People and South East Asian People.
Malagasy people are austronesians . They are not mixed with Bantu . Most Bantus were brought in Madagascar by Arabs who were settled there long time before western colonialism.
They are most exactly a predominant mixture of Bantus, modern Azanians/Shenzis (so-called "Swahilis") who are actually of mixed Cushitic/Bantu/Nilotic (the Cushitic part being mostly ancient Azanians, Southern Cushites and Horners) and Malays, with some minor traces of Iron Age Levantine/Phoenician, Arabian and European mix.
@@st3019 First off, the Malagasy people are unquestionably mixed. This is not even a stuff of debate, whether this offend you or not.
And secondly, Bantu presence and their interactions with the Malay ancestors of the Malagasy predated the Arab slave trade. Ancient Azanians, a Cushitic-speaking people ancestral to the ethnically mixed, so-called "Swahilis" (by their true name Shenzis "Azanians, Zanjs") had been sailing and esthablishing outposts on the northwestern coastline of the "Island of the Moon" since as far as 2nd Century CE, as attested by the Greek travelogue _Periplus on the Eryhtraean Sea_ . When the Malays settled on Magadascar around the mid-1st Millenium CE, the latter ethnically mixed Swahili-speaking descendants of these ancient Azanians were still influent on these coasts, which plausibly led to some trading exchanges between the Shenzis/Zanjs and the Malay newcomers. Besides, the Malay attempted to settle too on the coasts of Mozambique, while both Shenzi/Zanj and Bantu populations from Mozambique did the same around the 6th to 9th centuries CE.
@@st3019
Shut up. Malagasy people are a mix and not just Austronesians. I mean, it's very very obvious not just in their features, but also their DNA. It's a giant humongous lie that the Bantu's of Madagascar was brought by Arabs. They came to Madagascar by themselves.

Great video. I'm from the Reunion Island( a french island) which is close to Madagascar. And as the name of my island every kind of people(Black,White,Asian,Indian, Malagasy, Mahoran, Comoran and so on) live together and miscegenetion is part of our culture with no distinction of colour or religion. It's very common that in one family there are all kind of "race" and multiple religions. I really appreciate my island for this. And we don't realise how lucky we are(because it's so normal for us) until we have the opportunity to travel elsewhere and see the difference in other part of the world. Me for exemple I'm mixed (Black, White, Chinese,Malagasy by the origins of my Mum and Black, Indian and White by the origins of my dad).

@@duchesstyra And you will be welcome ;) I once traveled in South Africa when I was 16. And even if I was welcome with people who knew the purpose of our school trip we were aware of the gaze of others in public area who where not familiar to how friendly and close we,the pupils, were with each other without regarding our "colours". For example "black" pupils like me were told not to be too friendly in public with our "light" or "white" friends in order to not get too much attention from the South African people since our teachers didn't want us to be called in public for that. That was weird for us but as prior of our trip we worked on the particular history of this wonderful country we got it and simply obeyed

maybe you don't really know the real story of your island but malagasy people was the first people settle in your island came along with one French guy. Then after all of the different ethnicity came after them.
@@plouplou1136 ??? Do you think that we are not taught about our history especially with the school education we have in France? And for my part I studied it a bit more in University. And you are quite right about the fact that Malagasy people were AMONG one of the first people to be sent (and not to come voluntarily) as prisoners in my island since a part of their land was colonised and these colons used my Island as an open prison. At one moment they didn't want to use my island as a sole open prison. And Portguese people were there before the English ones THEN at last French people arrived and my island which was an english Island at that point became a French island.

@@jayeff6712 If you talk about matematical proportions , the features of some Caucasian people are very near perfection . Aurea proportion It s called . Maybe you should see some Leonardo da Vinci s work of art . But beauty It s Just a personal taste .
It’s crazy how similar we all look alike! I’m from across the water and have Carib native and Taino roots still doing research. 😂 Love your videos ! ❤
It’s all connected
Nah
Funny I am from Maluku. East Indonesia. And the entire video could have been shot here. Thats how much they look alike even sound in terms of language. Then I often get mistaken for Aruban or Puerto Rican. (I am mixed) no doubt that the taino and arawak have a connection to the Melanesian and Austronesians. Even the pyramids of the Mayans look similar to ours.
Your African and nothing to do with taino people.
The world is very diverse and we could learn so much if we only loved one another instead of discriminating or looking down on those who look different from us. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR from America by way of Kenya.🇺🇸 🇰🇪 ❤️
It can truly be said that America will forever have a Kenyan connection in the person of one Barrack Obama, whom the racists are forever trying to diminish but whose decency, talent, patriotism and intelligence always rise above.
I'm from America 🇺🇸 but will love ❤️ to visit there...
I had a college girlfriend from Madagascar. We were a few students from Africa in an American university so we naturally pulled together . Her name was so long so used the shorter version: Menja .
So you know Madagascar in depth...
@@haryhary6633 I wouldn’t claim that , knew very basic. I mostly knew about their presidential politics because it was always in the news. Learning from this video .

Greetings from Malaysia, Antananarivo caught my attention years ago as it sounds in Malay as ' Tanah nan Seribu or Tanah Seribu' ( literal translation : Land of the Thousands). I look it up in wikipedia and was shock it was the exact translation, lmao. Hope one day I could visit Madagascar.
Antananarivo means one thousand soldiers of the Merina monarch
Greetings from Madagascar
@@ikotozafy in bima language (bima etnic in Indonesia) "land of the thousands" We said "Tdananariwu" Pretty close I think.
@@nguyenvientthu3203 yup. Since Antananarivo is also Tananarive or Iarivo
(“vo” at the end is pronounced voo/vu).
As an Indonesian, I'd like to translate it as "Tanah/Negeri Seribu Prajurit".
@@nguyenvientthu3203 well it’s the same meaning in malagasy
The Merina tribe is the largest ethnic group in Madagascar. from the way they live have many similarities with people who live on the island of Java. which in Java cultivate rice and other crops on terraced land and that's the same thing that the Merina tribe who live in the highlands does. It's an ancient form of agricultural progress. where the sufficiency of food from agricultural progress has allowed them to survive and become the largest ethnic group in Madagascar... the same thing happened in Indonesia. where Java has ancient agricultural progress with its irrigation and terracing. making Javanese the largest ethnicity in Indonesia. of the growing population. Javanese ethnicity has a history of advanced civilization in the form of kingdoms. the same thing where the farming Merina tribe also developed a kingdom in Madagascar.. in terms of the architecture of the buildings, there are also many similarities to traditional buildings in Java
Absolutely👍
They sure are the largest tribe in Madagascar, but they are around 20% of the entire population.
The javanese dont have a maritime culture.. The Makassar people are far better known as a formidable seafaring tribe. That's why Madagascar comes from the word Makassar.
@@tonce5508 sotoy
@@tonce5508 You have to see the reliefs of the Borobudur temple. there is a picture that shows the sophistication of the ancient ships owned by the Javanese. and from the Portuguese immortal records 16 also said to find a large ship named Jung Jawa in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa

Africa is the most ethnically diverse continent in the world,you will find all sorts of features,phenotypes ,hair textures etc.
yeah
Africa is a continent with over 2,000 ethnic groups, and that includes Nigeria having over 400 ethnic groups.
i would say europe is more ethnically diverse
@@edombre4637 Nope,they don’t have anywhere near the diverse languages and tribes Africans have.
@@edombre4637 europe🤣🤣🤣is the least diverse.
@@fruitsarelife7073 asia is the least diverse. Italy alone has over 400 dialects/languages
I speak and understand Indonesian. I actually can understand some of the song lyrics. This is so interesting.

Malagasy are the only mixed race country in Afrika.
Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Chaos, Mauritius...
Creole, Mixed, Black, Sorte, Nword, Indien, Zwarte,... Are all the same words in different Indo languages.
It literally means they originated in Negerij "Indochina".
Thanks sooo much for sharing this information! Beautiful people!❤️❤️❤️
Nice video! My grandmother is Malagasy. My Beautiful people🤎🤎
Always found this place interesting definitely might want to travel there one day seems like a place where you could easily start to feel like you’re at home
What is the title of that beautiful song in the video? Can someone help please???
It seems like a beautiful country with beautiful people. I've always like to visit Madagascar and Comoro islands, I'm from Tanzania.
Hi from your Austronesian/Dayak cousin from the Malaysian side of Borneo island, Sabah. We are the Kadazandusun while your ancestors are the Dusun Ot Danum of Kalimantan.
Interesting 👏👏👏 watching from Philippines. 🇵🇭🇵🇭
The Salt of the Earth. Africa has the most diverse peoples on the face of the Globe, created by God. A true Garden of Eden.
Madagascar was the Eden garden field before.
Beautiful people, where Asians meet Africans; unfortunately they're colonized by France. Like Haiti, no country colonized by France would ever experience development 😪
True
3:56 ❤
So glad to learn that they speak my native language Malay too. They are so beautiful... their eyes, smile, hair and skin tone. From their mannerism and the way they speak I can tell they are very polite and humble.
Ummm they’re Malay! Of course they speak their native language
All Austronesians speak the same language whivh is malayo Polynesian, the thing is, language change in migration...
@@amaranusa appreciate the sharing. Learning so much from here. Many thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We don't speak Malay at all; we speak Malagasy.
@@flavmendrikaja3784 come on there is similar words between Malay and malagasy. We are all speak austronesian.
Alot of Indonesians look like this. Also Melanasia.
Yes it's the bantu genetics all over the the region
Only african country with mixed race? You are wrong, visit Mauritania, Angola, Mauritius, South africa, Botswana, Angola and cape Green, Eritrea Ethiopia, egypt, marrocos, Algeria.

Great content as always Sista. Every of your vlogs I have seen has been great and I wonder why it took me this long to sub.
I love and cherish every vlog, especially by brothas and Sistas, that tell us more about the Motherland, Africa. They are more uplifting and unifying than the diminishing and negative lenses of western media and vloggers.
If you can cover Mauritius like this I personally will appreciate that. I was on a ship from SA to Asia across the Indian ocean. When we got to Mauritius and their navy boarded the ship for checks, I was very shocked to see that the team was mostly people of Chinese origins. I'd like to know more about the ethnic make up of Mauritius.
Where is the TH-cam from?
A lot of beautiful people live there, such a nice blend of people and the way they live.
They're so beautiful.
Supprisingly, we have Bajao (philippines) Bajau(Borneo, Malaysia) and Bajo(Indonesia) and Vezo tribes in Madagascar. They are known as seagypsy. I dont know if they are from the same ancestor.
I dont know why the world's people has to be divided, its only one human race on this planet, and the skin,hair,languages and cultures doesn't change the fact that only one race live here. We must love and respect all regardless of how different we all look.

I am from Maluku, which is an island nation in contemporary East Indonesia off the shore of Papua, the exact area where the ancestors of both the Polynesians as well as the estimated origin of the Malagasy are from. I am amazed how close the Malagasy people resemble my people of the Alifuru stock in terms of looks. It is said here that several of our chiefs took a group of asiatic women with them to settle across the Ocean. Which sounds exactly like the Madagascar colony. Ofcourse it has been a trend for our black chiefs in the past to take Asiatic women in spirit of creating powerful bonds and allyship with the new Asian settlers in our island territories. I would easily mistake a Malagasy for either a Arunese, Naualu or Timorese brother or sister.

mereka dari pulau borneo sulawesi dan java bercampur dengan orang afrika.gak ada hubungan dengan maluku apalagi timor..bodoh kau
Merina people came from borneo
@@ge7sur3nka34 You will find that the culture of Borneo peoples, especially the Dajak people - is also influenced by the predating culture of the Alifuru people of Maluku who have occupied the Borneo peninsula before the arrival of Austronesians.
@@urbnctrl you are wrong. Dayak borneo is one of the first wave of austronesian tribe to come to the archipelago, the so called proto melayu. The native of maluku were melanesian, so if any cultures resembled that of austronesian in maluku, that must came from the austronesian. Dayak culture is 100% austronesian including the language while many melanesian tribes actually now speaking austronesian language. That proved the influence of austronesian to the native melanesian, not the other way around.
The Cape Coloureds are being awfully quiet in the comments... Lets tell them whats wrong with this tittle ek se!
First time I've clearly understood the ethnic mix of the country.Keep up the good work.(NB.Nice song
Many countries in Africa are mix of African and non-african. All of north Africa is one example 😅 i think the Seychelles is very mixed, too (african and European)
It always fascinates how Austronesians crossed huge bodies of water (Pacific and Indian Ocean) and I also wonder why they never settled in Australia.
Probably because Australia was too densely settled already and they were kicked out. Also the climate is very different from Sundaland and China--it's very dry
They also didn't settle Papua. I think they could only handle islands with smaller populations.
They are..in Keling Cocos island
Australia was a desert last few centuries
@@justmebeinghonest you are saying that autronesians are not the one who found madagaskar?..it happened because of slavery?..I need a link on this subject
whattt?? a lot of aboriginal people were Austronesian & Melanesian.
Beautiful people, and a great video. Thanks for the information.
I read somewhere that Portuguese explorer who thought it was Mogadishu named this island to Madagascar.
Yes his name was Marco Polo
I would like to visit Africa one day hopefully. 🙏😇❤️

@@MGM-ru7oj Maybe so, but you all are equal and yall have issues among indians and blacks there sometimes. A black person can migrate to india and may never flourish because he will recieve discrimination. Indians can migrate to countries with majority black populations and flourish
