A Concise Introduction to the Study of the Malagasy Language as Spoken in Imerina (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to understanding the Malagasy language, spoken primarily in Imerina. Born from the efforts of the London Missionary Society during the 19th century, this book has since been revised multiple times, incorporating important notes and discoveries made by prominent scholars in the field. Broken into two parts, this book serves as both a reference grammar and a guide to the Malagasy language. It provides a phonetic breakdown of each sound in the Malagasy alphabet, as well as grammatical structure, syntax, and an in-depth examination of the Malagasy verb. The author includes numerous examples throughout to aid the learner. This book also features a brief history of the Malagasy language, including foreign influences and notable European contributions to its study. The author notes the unique characteristics of the language, such as its preference for open syllables, lack of harsh consonant combinations, and the use of particles to convey specific grammatical functions. The book positions the Malagasy language within the broader context of Malayo-Polynesian languages, discussing its relationship to other languages within the family and noting historical developments that led to its current form. This book is an invaluable tool for students, linguists, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the Malagasy language.
