TANALA VERY SAMPY
here is a sample music from the Sihanaka dialect (~betsimisaraka dialect), from Ambatondrazaka region.
In fact, there are just two types of Malagasy dialects: the southern and northern varieties. The merina, the official language is considered as a northern one, by the accent.
Every malagasy person understands the merina dialect, everybody can even speak it, but it is a bit difficult for the merina people to understand/ or speak to the others.

" Tanala very sampy ka ny manova no mety" is a saying inspired by the Tanala tribe, a people of cowherds. If one of them has lost his amulets, he will not find it in the vast forest, so it is better for him to change for a new one.
In other words, it means that if someone has lost something very important (for example, his sweetheart), it is better for him to find another one.
