Located off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is the fourth-largest island in the world and the second-largest island country. The country's long period of geological isolation has resulted in extraordinary evolutionary divergence, making it one of the world's most significant biodiversity hotspots. Madagascar was first permanently settled during the mid-first millennium CE by Austronesian peoples, later joined by Bantu groups. Today it operates as a unitary semi-presidential republic with Malagasy and French as official languages.
