Murray P. Cox, Michael G. Nelson, Meryanne K. Tumonggor, François-X. [1], In a recent island-wide survey the male-only Y chromosomes of African origin are more common than those of East Asian origin but it varies depending on the study (70.7 vs. 20.7% or 51% vs 34%). Within the country, people's physical appearance, religious practices, and traditions are highly regional—the strongest bond between the Malagasy is sharing a common language. Malagasy is their only language and ancestor worship is still practiced, with regional variations across the country. L'islam a d'abord été apporté sur l'île au Moyen Âge par les Arabes et les commerçants somaliens musulmans qui ont créé plusieurs écoles islamiques le long de la côte orientale.

Malgaches - Malagasy people. Quant à la cause de la venue de ces Austronésiens, l’histoire de l'océan Indien du début du premier millénaire de notre ère est encore très mal connue. They inhabit the Mikea Forest, a patch of mixed spiny forest and dry deciduous forest along the coast of southwestern Madagascar. They later extended Merina control over the majority of the coastal areas. The Antaifasy are an ethnic group of Madagascar inhabiting the southeast coastal region around Farafangana. Dahl O., op. cit., Adelaar, op. A large portion of the population has emigrated to other parts of the island for work, with an estimated 40% of emigrants between 1948 and 1958 permanently settling outside the Antesaka homeland. The Andevo, along with the other social strata, have also historically existed in other large Malagasy ethnic groups such as the Betsileo people. Malgré les différences visibles phénotypiquement, la génétique montre que le fonds austronésien est communément partagée à des degrés variables selon les régions[1] et il est également culturellement très prégnant (langue commune, traditions culinaires communes telles que le riz au bœuf ou le riz au poisson, polyphonie et signature rythmique communes en musique, etc.). Deux autres mutations (1473 et 3423A) ont été trouvées chez tous les porteurs de motifs polynésiens de Madagascar, d'où le nom de « motif malgache »[22]. Omissions? About half are Christian, while some two-fifths practice their traditional religion based on ancestor worship. Cependant, les lignées d'ADNmt, transmises de mère à enfant, ont des proportions inverses (42,4 % d'origine africaine contre 50,1 % d'origine asiatique)[21]. Most arriving following European settlement in the late 19th and early 20th century but there is continued immigration to the continent to pursue economic opportunities. They were above the Hova and Andevo (slaves). While beliefs about the physical appearance of the Vazimba reflect regional variation, they are generally described as smaller in stature than the average person, leading some scientists to speculate that they may have been a pygmy people who migrated from the islands that constitute modern-day Indonesia and settled in Madagascar over the course of the period between 350 BCE–500 CE. Alors que les habitants des « hauts plateaux » descendent de migrants austronésiens originaire de Bornéo, arrivé entre le IIIe et le Xe siècle de notre ère et qui ont établi un réseaux de principautés dans les Hauts-Plateaux, les « côtiers », descendent de migrants est-Africains qui ont établi des royaumes tout au long des côtes, jusqu'alors relativement dépeuplés. Outre le culte des ancêtres, d'autres religions orientales sont également présentes sur l'île. The third is the Betsileo, who inhabit the plateau around Fianarantsoa.

Countries with a significant Malagasy diaspora include France (specifically the overseas departments of Mayotte and Réunion), [6] Comoros (specifically the island of Moheli), South Africa, and the United States. Des simulations sur ordinateur de la navigation entre l'Indonésie et Madagascar permettent de comprendre les itinéraires possibles qui ont amené à la colonisation de Madagascar par des Austronésiens à partir du début de notre ère. [4] The Malagasy population was formed from the small founding population who intermixed. There are two additional mutations (1473 and 3423A) found in all Polynesian motif carriers of Madagascar, hence named the Malagasy motif. In addition to the ethnic distinction between highland and coastal Malagasy, one may speak of a political distinction as well.

Dans une étude récente menée à l'échelle de l'île, les proportions de chromosomes Y d'origine africaine réservés sont plus communs que ceux d'origine asiatique orientale (70,7 % contre 20,7 %). The Antesaka form about 5% of the population of Madagascar. Recent genetic studies on the Malagasy people showed that all have mixed African and Asian ancestry.

The Vazimba, according to popular belief, were the first inhabitants of Madagascar. A community of descendants of these Malagasy reside in Morropón (Piura), a city in northern Peru; the Afro-Peruvians of Malagasy descent number about 7,000. Approximately 150,000 Antaifasy inhabit Madagascar as of 2013. The Mikea are a group of Malagasy-speaking horticulturalists and foragers who are often described as the lowland hunter-gatherers of Madagascar. Notons ici un débat fondamental parmi la communauté des chercheurs : le mot vazimba étant un qualificatif austronésien désignant les « habitants de la forêt » d'une manière générale (y compris les Austronésiens eux-mêmes qui s'installèrent dans les forêts), il n'est pas à exclure que d'autres hominidés vazimba aborigènes, de type homme de Florès par exemple, aient habité dans les forêts de Madagascar des dizaines - voire des centaines - de milliers d'années avant l'arrivée des vazimba austronésiens. Malagasy weaving flourished until around 1950. Traditional instruments reflect these widespread origins: the mandoliny and kabosy owe their existence to the introduction of the guitar by early Arab or European seafarers, the ubiquitous djembe originated in mainland Africa and the valiha—the bamboo tube zither considered the national instrument of Madagascar—directly evolved from an earlier form of zither carried with the first Austronesian settlers on their outrigger canoes.

Ceci pourrait expliquer le mythe des « petits hommes/nains primaires de la forêt » que les vahoaka ntaolo austronésiens - ancêtre de la majorité des malgaches actuels - auraient rencontrés et assimilés (ou peut-être anéantis) à leur arrivée. Dès le milieu du premier millénaire jusqu'à 1600 environ, les Vazimba de l'intérieur autant que les Vezo des côtes accueillirent de nouveaux immigrants moyen-orientaux (Perses Shirazi, Arabes Omanites, Juifs arabisés), africains (Bantous) et orientaux (Indiens Gujarati, Malais, Javanais, Bugis et Orang Laut) voire européens (Portugais) qui s'intégrèrent et s'acculturèrent à la société Vezo et Vazimba, souvent par alliance matrimoniale.
Dans une étude de 2010, la fréquence des motifs polynésiens (haplotype B4a1a1a) variait entre trois groupes ethniques: 50 % à Merina, 22 % à Vezo et 13 % à Mikea.
The original Austronesian settlers from Borneo arrived between the third and tenth centuries and established a network of principalities in the Central Highlands region conducive to growing the rice they had carried with them on their outrigger canoes.
