Zafisoro dialect

Zafisoro is a coastal dialect of the Malagasy language spoken by the Zafisoro people in the northwestern part of the Farafangana District in southeastern Madagascar.

Zafisoro belongs to the Austronesian languages family, under the Malayo-Polynesian languages branch. It is part of the Western Indonesian languages, specifically the Barito languages group and its Eastern Barito subgroup.

Within Malagasy, Zafisoro falls under the Central-Eastern Malagasic cluster, more precisely in the Plateau Malagasy division and the Antemoro–Antefasy subgroup.

The dialect is spoken in and around the localities of Evato, Mahafasa Afovoany, Amporoforo, and Ambalatany. These areas represent the core territory of the Zafisoro within the Farafangana District.
