| Subject: Malagasy... December 25th 2010, 2:26 am | |
| Malagasy, the local language spoken by the majority of the population, is an Austronesian language and one of the official languages. The other official languages are French, official since independence, and English, official from 2007 to 2010. English was removed as an official language from the constitution approved by voters in the November referendum 2010. These results are not recognized by the political opposition or the international community, who cite lack of transparency and inclusiveness in the organization of the election by the High Transitional Authority.[4] The primary religions are Malagasy mythology and Christianity but adherents to other faiths, Islam in particular, are to be found throughout the country. Madagascar is home to as many as 12,000 of the world's plant species.[5] Approximately 80% of all plant and animal species found in Madagascar are endemic and found nowhere else on Earth, including the lemur infraorder of primates, the carnivorous fossa, three bird families and three of the island's six baobab species. accommodation in melbourneMarijuana Dispensaries | |
