Language and culture are directly related to one another. It isn't so much about the location of where the language is spoken, but rather how things are expressed using it. For example in English, wood, chair, and table are all different words and invoke different ideas. In some languages, however, there is only a word for wood, and it is also applied when referring to a chair or table. It may seem minute, but these little changes in language completely shape how the people who speak it look at the world, and thus impact their culture.

The first settlers of Madagascar came from what part of the world?

Believe it or not "despite its location close to the African continent, the first human settlers of Madagascar appear to have come from Asia, rather than Africa, between 100 and 500 AD. The culture shows the influence of both Africa and Asia. The settlement represented the western-most branch of the great Austronesian expansion. Some of the strongest evidence indicating that the settlers of Madagascar came from this region is linguistic: the Malagasy language belongs to the group of Malayo-Polynesian languages, the rest of which are spoken in the island nations of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean."
