 note = {This paper emphasizes that the present languages of Madagascar
(the national language "Malagasy" is based on the Merina dialect) have
been formed through the process of the pidginization of Javanese.
Javanese was the language of the latest immigrants, who navigated from
Indonesia about A. D. 1400 and conquered most of Madagascar founding
the Merina Kingdom. As a lingua franca Javanese spread throughout
the country and got creolized with the language of the antecedent occupants
of Madagascar, who were composed of the coexistent peoples,
including the preceding Indonesians, Africans, and Arabs.
The initial Austronesian settlement might have been, as 0. C. Dahl
supposed, underway by about A. D. 400 among the Barito peoples in
South Kalimantan under the reign of the Indianized Kutai Kingdom at
that time.
Inth is paper, Sakiyama suggests the appropriateness of that dating
by accumulating the regional cognates, which are characteristic of the
two areas, Madagascar and South Kalimantan, and by presenting the
distinct Javanicisms which appeared subsequently in modern Malagasy
idioms.
In particular, by basing its analysis on the comparison of the folkvocabularies
and the plant names from a standpoint of the semantic
changes, this study will become a first attempt to chronologize and to
determine the original places of Madagascar migration and its languageformations.
The author's presentation on migrations has the following stages in
this paper: 1. Pre-South Kalimantan and South Sulawesi Age, 2. Post-
South Kalimantan Age, 3. East Africa Age, 4. Java and Sumatra Age.},
