Ny Rabe is told in Malagasy: the everyday Malagasy spoken in the streets of Antananarivo, the way young people speak it today. Like the language of the street, it mixes in French words freely, as in the titles [Tsiky mère célibataire](https://nyrabe.com/tsiky-mere-celibataire) or [Bacc en poche](https://nyrabe.com/bacc-en-poche).

The stories are made by Malagasy people, for Malagasy people. This space presents the universe in English and in French, so that anyone, anywhere, can find out who the Rabe family are.
