  1. My wife’s great grand mother was the last queen’s cousin. The French have a lot of splaining to do. And the French need to give the islands back. France has no legal basis for their claim. None.

  2. THE EARLY EUROPEANS HAD CHANGED ALL TAMIL CIVILISATION HISTORY WITH THEIR NONSENSE KNOWLEDGE . THESE EUROPEANS KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ACIENT TAMIL CIVILISATION THEY WERE ONLY POKING THEIR NOSE TO BE VERY INTELLEGENT BUT THEY WERE BIG FOOLS . THE EUROPEANS WERE BADLY SMELLING NO BATH FOR WEEKS .

  3. By DNA Trace, yes they come from an island in Indonesia, "Borneo" by study. The name of Madagascar actually european inveted term, Actual name "Malagasikara", refer to the people live in there, Malagasy People.

    Etymology, the name of Malagasikara, seem derived from Malay & Javan, "Malay Sekar" / "Malaka Sekar" (Malay Flower Bloom, Malaga = Malay/Malacca, Sekar = Blooming Flower). Sekar have many meaning in Indonesian Family language, which can mean "Dry", "Flower", "Blooming", "Sowing Seed", we can assume the meaning as "New Flower to be Bloom".

    I Assume, When arrive on the Island, They found the island to be Fertile and Wide. They make outpost there to planting several Canoe Plant for their supply in the Futures, and renamed the Island as "New Flower", some people stay, some people are back to homeland. In my region there is a myth, about seafarers wish they came back to an island to harvest what they sow (Menyekar) in there.

    also, the name of their King back then, Andrianjaka.
    Andri is common names in indonesia, by malay people.
    Jaka is common names in indonesia, by java people.

  4. Malagasy people closest to Banjar Tribe in Borneo by DNA, but for the languange they close to Dayak Maanyan Tribe also in Borneo (45 %),..No Wonder, because Banjar Tribe consists of Dayak Maanyan and Malay people

  5. That site is confusing ustronesians for polynesians. Austronesians from se asia travelled to plynesia and madagascar. In madahascar they intermixed with bantus, in polynesia they intermixed with melanesians hence current polynesians

  6. To think that Madagascar wasn’t FIRST populated by Africans while Africans made it to Australia, Sentinel Island, Fiji & etc. reeks of racism.

    As if Africans fear bodies of water. Fear the coastline.

    Ridiculous.

  7. 🇮🇩: Now that we have entered Madagascar there we have opened an embassy, ​​and together with Malaysia we have provided scholarships for students who want to study here, Sorry if we can't be of much help but we've tried. and you need to know that another name for Madagascar according to Indonesians is TANJUNG HARAPAN ( cape of good hope)

  8. A Portuguese account described how the Javanese people already had advanced seafaring skills and had communicated with Madagascar in 1645

    The Javanese are all men very experienced in the art of navigation, to the point that they claim to be the most ancient of all, although many others give this honor to the Chinese, and affirm that this art was handed on from them to the Javanese. But it is certain that they formerly navigated to the Cape of Good Hope and were in communication with the east coast of the island of São Lourenço (San Laurenzo — Madagascar), where there are many brown and Javanese-like natives who say they are descended from them.
