History Of Madagascar
The History of Madagascar started from the ancient supercontinent of Pangaea, containing amongst others the Africa, African continent and the Indian subcontinent, and by the island's late colonization by human settlers from the Sunda Islands (Malay Archipelago) and from East Africa. These two factors facilitated the evolution and survival of thousands of Fauna of Madagascar, endemic plant and animal species, some of which have gone extinct or are currently threatened with extinction. Trade in the Indian Ocean at the time of first colonization of Madagascar was dominated by Indonesian ships, probably of Borobudur ship and K'un-lun po types. Over two thousand years, the island has received waves of settlers of diverse origins, primarily Austronesian languages, Austronesian and Bantu peoples, Bantu. Centuries of intermarriages between both groups created the Malagasy people, who are roughly an equal mixture of both groups. They speak Malagasy language, Malagasy, an Austronesian lan ...

People From Antananarivo
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation.
