  • There’s no place like Madagascar but most people only know one thing about this one of a kind island nation. It's no wonder they call themselves the 8th continent. But if you dig deeper you’ll find out about the intrigue of its name, its people and places. The island nation has a human population of 30 million and is the 4th largest island on the planet after Greenland, New Guinea and Borneo. So how did Madagascar become Madagascar.. How did it get its name?

    As a Somali living in Mozambique 🇲🇿 this is the most common answer even some Malagasy people have confirmed that Somalia influenced Madagascar in some ways

    On the southern island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, there is a city called Makasar. The ancient name of Makasar is Mangkassara. The native tribes of Sulawesi Island are sailors, or live at sea, like the Bajau and Bugis tribes. This is just a hypothesis, there are similarities in sound between Mangkassara and Madagaskara.

    As a Somali 🇸🇴, I appreciate the level of research you put into your videos brother. Also, the ROOT word Muqdisho (Mogadishu) literally means, “Sight Killer” because of the stunning beauty of it. Western colonialism always want to whitewash our histories but the more people like you are around, the more we will take control of our history/narrative.

      This Island that sits on the AFRICAN OCEAN has been renamed OKELLO. The effort to steal the island by conversion has been thwarted by sending the Indians back or ordering them to apply for the African citizenships through THE AFRICAN CITIZENS REGISTRY . The schematic effort to over breed Okello by the Indian population has been STRONGLY CRITICISED for it poses a security threat in Africa's territories and sphere of influence. AFRICA'S MINISTER OF DEFENCE views India with great suspicion with it's nuclear weapons as india supports China's adversaries over Chinese - Taiwan dispute.

    You have it all wrong my friend. Most of what you say is twisted in order to comfort your biased theory that suggest that the naming came from a mistake with Somalia (Mogadishu).
    Madagascar was indeed a naming that appeared in Maps of Arab speaking navigators, but before that this island had many names, among which was a native naming (the Europeans also had a proper naming for the island before).
    It is not accurate that you claim that the name of the country is what it is, because it derived from a mistake made by Marco polo.
    For your information Madagascar means "The island of the Malays" (do you see any people of Malay or Austronesian ethnicity in Somalia?).
    And also there are indeed scientific articles that explain all the different meaning of the Different naming of the island of Madagascar. You should make more research about it (its is mostly in French language).

Par contre je sais pas si c'est toi qui a réalisé ce documentaire ou si tu l'as seulement copié mais c'est pas de ma faute si c'est des conneries. C'est pas les français qui ont donné le nom à Mada et c'est encore moins une construction de "mal" plus "gache", c'est ridicule et n'importe quel malgache ou même quelqu'un qui connait Mada pourrait te dire que c'est que des conneries. En malgache l'île s'appelle madagasikara. Le s se prononce ch et les dernières voyelles sont muettes. Donc on prononce "madagashkar" et l'habitant s'appelle le "malagasy" qui se prononce "malgache". Les français n'ont rien à voir là dedans, alors si te faire remarquer que ton documentaire raconte des conneries plus grosses que toi c'est être haineux bah ok je suis haineux mais ton doc c'est des conneries quand-même.🙃😜😇😉😘 Asafady !

    the real origin: Madagasikara was coined by Malagasy scholars during its reunification led by Merina people.
    No frenchies or westernoids involvements.
    Better check it in the country’s historical archives (in Madagasikara) and books

    Another explanation most have never heard of ,long long ago when its African population settled there , im talking thousands of years ago. The ancestors of that land called it Matagadzikwa( Karanga,Shona word meaning where we have been placed. This implies they moved from the Mesopotamia area and was ordained by the Creator to live in a new area since their previous home was rundown by european invaders.
