**List: Malagasy Ministry
Holy Bible ( Soratra Masina )
Malagasy...
"Malagasy is spoken by 99 per cent of the 6 million
inhabitants of
the Malagasy Republic (before 1960, the
French colony of
Madagascar). Although a number of racial types can be dis-
tinguished among Malagasy speakers, the Malagasy linguistic
community is surprisingly homogeneous. Yet, there are several
dialects, including Tsimihety and Hova, or Merina, the latter
the
most important in number of speakers and for literary usage.
Classed linguistically with the
Malayo-Polynesian tongues,
Malagasy developed from the languages of
Malay-stock immi-
grants, who arrived in Madagascar at an early date. The Vazimba
are considered to be descendants of the island’s aboriginal in-
habitants."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]

The first Bible printed in an African language. Translated by
David
Jones and David Griffiths, LMS. In 1835 an
edict proscribing
Christianity was issued, and the translation and publication of the
whole Malagasy Bible were hastened so that it might be finished,
secretly distributed, and hidden, before the mies. were forced
to leave. An edition of the N.T. was published by the BFBS in
England and shipped to Mauritius, to be smuggled into Madagascar as
opportunity arose."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
