Riassunto

Excerpt from A Concise Grammar of the Malagasy Language

The language spoken by the various tribes which inhabit Madagascar was essentially a spoken language, no symbols or pictures of the nature of writing having been found, until the early part of the present century; since which time the English Missionaries, by degrees, reduced it to its present alphabetic form. The characters chosen for it were those of our own English alphabet, with the exception of the five letters 0, g, u, w, x, which have no corresponding sounds in Malagasy but some, or all, of these (especially w) seem likely to be incorporated into the Malagasy language along with foreign words which require their use.
