Madagascar (Malagasy Republic), is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, off the southeastern coast of Africa. It is the fourth largest island in the world, and is home to five percent of the world's plant and animal species; more than 80 percent of which are endemic to Madagascar. Most notable are the lemur infraorder of primates, the carnivorous fossa, three endemic bird families and six endemic baobab species.
Everyday life in Madagascar is regulated by numerous fady (taboos) which vary from one region to another. They can forbid foods (pork, lemur, turtle... ), wearing clothes of a particular color, bathing in a river or a lake. Observance of "Fady" is mostly limited to rural areas. Fady are attributed to ancestors, to whom Malagasy owe a respectful worship whatever their religion.
Salegy is a popular music form but there is a sudden interest in American culture and European popular culture, which is eroding the more traditional culture, and especially the music.
Instruments and vocal styles, as well as the style and purpose of music, traditionally vary widely from one region to the next. The oldest musical traditions are those of the Highland peoples (including the Merina and Betsileo), who trace their ancestry back to the original Malayo-Polynesian settlers
Cuisine of Madagascar traditionally consists of a base of rice (vary) with some form of accompaniment (laoka), although in the southwest rice may be supplemented or replaced by maize that has been dried, ground and reconstituted.
The remarkable thing about Madagascar is that the entire island speaks one language: Malagasy, an Austronesian language. Because the island is so large there are many different dialects. The Merina dialect is the "Official Malagasy" of the island and is spoken around highlands of Antananarivo. Most Malagasies, however, speak Merina across the island. French is the second official language of Madagascar. The third offical language is English, though very few people speak English. It became an offical language in 2007.
