LCSH: nl; AE: nl; E: nl; I From the 9th to the 13th centuries Islamized groups from the African continent also settled in Madagascar. The most important of these groups were the 'Antemoro-Anakara' ('People of the Coast') who knew the Sorabe (Arabic) script and used it to transcribe the Malagasy language in Arabic letters before the adoption of the Latin alphabet by King Radama 1 (1810-28) in 1820. La caste des Anakara détient les 'Sorabe' ou écritures saintes, écrits en caractères arabes, ces textes rapellent l'histoire des Antemoro, racontent l'astrologie et la divination et énumérent certains versets du coran.
