The Malagasy language
The Malagasy language has many dialects but these 19 tribes have one thing in common with some slight variation, is spoken and understood everywhere in the island.

AUSTRONESIAN is now the preferred term for the Malayo-Polynesian language family. Its eastern group (300 languages, over 1 million speakers) is so different from the western as to have barely traceable links. It includes the Polynesian, Micronesian and Melanesian (but not Papuan) branches. The western group's 200 languages (over 170 million speakers) are closely related (but not mutually intelligible). Javanese has the most speakers. Others include Sundanese (also in Java); Malay (Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia); Batak,Minangkabau and Achinese in Sumatra; Balinese and many languages of eastern Indonesia; Tagalog (Filipino), Cebuano, Ilocano, Ilongo and Bicolano in the Philippines; Cham (spoken by a minority people in Vietnam and Cambodia); and eighteen dialects in the African island of Madagascar.
