HI! Im maanyan people who lived from the woumb of maanyan women, and i so appreciate what are you doing here. When i was a child like 5-7 Y.o my grandmother always telling me a story about a maanyan people in the past who go trought the ocean and reach the madagascar. The maanyan people was so good in making longboat to across the ocean, making a boat its on our blood. Even the cultures from life to death must be have a boat to represent the meaning of the boat on maanyan tribe.

Thank you for introducing the Ma'anyan Dayak language to the world♥

I think loan words from other later dominant languages have made these 2 languages further apart. Examples - Maanyan uses “raja” and “surga” which originate from Sanskrit, “hormat” from Arabic and “marentah “ and “ampun” from Malay. “Ngaran” (name) and “ulun” (people) - these words are totally Borneo, shared by many tribes in Kalimantan and Sarawak that I know of. I don’t know much about Malagasy to comment on it.

[paiwanhan]

While they are supposed to be closely related, the Maanyan language is much easier for me as a Taiwanese to pick up and recognize words.

[leonardoschiavelli]

Maanyan, the closest relative to Malagasy within Austronesian family.

[FirstLast-qfdf]

They were separated by thousands of miles of water for thousands of years, yet their languages never drifted too far apart.

[Rdlpi]

Still lima gang. Lima > rima > dima. L/r and r/d are very commonly switched in Austronesian languages and oftentimes interchangeable (as in Tagalog madami and marami meaning “a lot”)

[harakovic]

Make Achenese and Cham language comparison

[azimistarzola]

similiar word in Maanyan and Malagasy is name for Wind= Riwut (Maanyan), Rivotra (Malagasy)

[payetbruno]

I would like to point out that in Malagasy we use IRAY or ISA. Generally we use ISA when counting and IRAY as an adjective. Besides, the verb “count” means MANISA in Malagasy.

[hnjgaiszru]

Maanyan def has a lot of borrowings from Malay, Sanskrit and Arabic here, just like any other languages in Indonesia.

The original word for "heaven", at least in old Maanyan would be *langit, the same as most contemporaneous Austronesian languages, which today would be cognate to Malagasy "lanitra" and "-danitra". This has been replaced by the Sanskrit word "surga" that I think was via Malay (from svarga).

[wilfredrowanserilo]

As a speaker of karay-a, hiligaynon, and tagalog, I can hear the similarities of Maanyan and Malagasy to the languages I speak.

[hakanbjrnson]

I'd never heard of Maanyan before, but it's a very nice language.

[ViandySilva-vvsr]

Can you do Malagasy🇲🇬 language about the culture and the people please

[jeanmarctojoniaina]

This is beautiful. I wanna know more about the grammar rules of the Maaynian language. Malagasy is my mother tongue

[thyroton_]

the numbers are similar, but the words are completely different. Malagasy speakers speak kinda fast just like Sundanese speakers

[mioraRaranto]

At madagascar we can say: Iray or Isa

Isa
Roa
Telo

[lrfankamil]

malagasy word for human: olona
same as lot of dayak language in borneo such as maanyan itself: ulun
