Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Introduction to the Study of the Malagasy Language as Spoken in Imerina One thing should be impressed on the minds of all who wish to gain a mastery of the language and to use it with freedom, viz. That they must not trust simply to what they can learn from books, or they will acquire but a stiff and bookish style of speaking. On the other hand, it is equally certain that if they are contented to pick up the language by ear only, though they may gain facility in speaking, they will lack accuracy and precision. Careful study of the grammar should go hand in hand with free intercourse with the natives. A beginner should give his main strength during the first year or two to the thorough mastery of the grammar. He should from the outset endeavour as far as possible to avoid forming sentences on English models; and especially should he direct his attention to those points in which the Malagasy language differs so much from his own; eg. In the absence of the logical copula and the consequent difference in the formation of sentences, the common use of the passive, the peculiarities of the relative form, the way in which the agent of an adjunctive verb is expressed, the uses of the particle no, delicate distinctions in the use or omission of the article, etc. If these and similar things are firmly grasped at the outset, a good foundation will exist on which to build. On the other hand, the failure to recognise some of these peculiar features of the language, may lead one to adopt awkward and erroneous modes of expression from which it may be extremely difficult to free one self in after years.

This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Grammar of the Malagasy Language The language spoken by the various tribes which inhabit Madagascar was essentially a spoken language, no symbols or pictures of the nature of writing having been found, until the early part of the present century; since which time the English Missionaries, by degrees, reduced it to its present alphabetic form. The characters chosen for it were those of our own English alphabet, with the exception of the five letters 0, g, u, w, x, which have no corresponding sounds in Malagasy but some, or all, of these (especially w) seem likely to be incorporated into the Malagasy language along with foreign words which require their use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Malagasy for Beginners: A Series of Graduated Lessons and Exercises in Malagasy as Spoken by the Hovas, Parts I, II HE want of some such book as malagasy fob beginners has long been felt. In the following pages an attempt has been made to supply that want. In many places it will be seen, by those who are conversant with the Rev. W. E. Cousins' introduction, that I have been greatly indebted to him for much that appears in this book; and in some consecutive sections I have closely followed his order, simply because I thought it was the best. Mr. Cousins most readily agreed to all 'i asked of him, and I desire here to express my indebtedness to him. There is much that I think will be found put in a new light and simplified in the book The tables are purposely made long, for only by seeing and learning the words can a beginner know the peculiar terminations of passive verbs, verbal nouns, and derivative adjectives, etc. I think I should adopt a somewhat different grouping of the various passive terminations, were I to write the book again; the first three groups of passive terminations (pp. 20-23) are undoubtedly one. I have found it very difficult at times to keep to one thing at a time, and there is so much overlapping and interweaving in the book that I lay myself open to the cha1 go of having had no fixed purpose' 'in my mind. A little thought will show, I think, that previous intention has made the book what it is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
