Radama I est la charni\u00e8re par laquelle Madagascar passe d&rsquo;un ensemble de chefferies des hautes terres \u00e0 une nation reconnue \u2014 et les d\u00e9cisions qu&rsquo;il a prises fa\u00e7onnent encore la mani\u00e8re dont le malgache se lit aujourd&rsquo;hui.<\/p>\n<h2>L&rsquo;h\u00e9ritier qui a achev\u00e9 la carte de son p\u00e8re<\/h2>\n<p>Radama I monta sur le tr\u00f4ne en 1810, vers dix-sept ans, \u00e0 la mort de son p\u00e8re Andrianampoinimerina. Il reprit le m\u00eame objectif \u2014 unifier l&rsquo;\u00eele \u2014 et le poursuivit avec une arm\u00e9e moderne. Au cours de son r\u00e8gne, il pla\u00e7a environ les deux tiers de Madagascar sous contr\u00f4le merina, poussant l&rsquo;autorit\u00e9 merina vers des c\u00f4tes que son p\u00e8re n&rsquo;avait fait que nommer. Il devint le premier souverain malgache qu&rsquo;un \u00c9tat europ\u00e9en, la Grande-Bretagne, reconnut officiellement comme \u00ab roi de Madagascar \u00bb.<\/p>\n<h2>Le march\u00e9 britannique<\/h2>\n<p>Cette reconnaissance s&rsquo;accompagnait d&rsquo;un accord. En \u00e9change de l&rsquo;abolition de l&rsquo;exportation d&rsquo;esclaves depuis ses ports et de l&rsquo;acceptation d&rsquo;un agent britannique \u00e0 sa cour, Radama re\u00e7ut des armes \u00e0 feu, des munitions, une subvention annuelle et un entra\u00eenement militaire pour ses troupes. C&rsquo;\u00e9tait un troc calcul\u00e9 : la Grande-Bretagne gagnait un alli\u00e9 contre la traite et contre l&rsquo;influence fran\u00e7aise dans l&rsquo;oc\u00e9an Indien ; Radama gagnait les moyens d&rsquo;achever l&rsquo;unification de l&rsquo;\u00eele. L&rsquo;alliance ouvrit aussi la porte aux missionnaires qui allaient transformer l&rsquo;alphab\u00e9tisation malgache.<\/p>\n<h2>Le d\u00e9cret qui a chang\u00e9 une langue<\/h2>\n<p>L&rsquo;acte le plus durable de Radama ne fut pas une bataille mais une d\u00e9cision sur les lettres. Le malgache s&rsquo;\u00e9crivait d\u00e9j\u00e0 depuis des si\u00e8cles en <em>sorabe<\/em>, une \u00e9criture d&rsquo;origine arabe utilis\u00e9e par les Antaimoro du sud-est. \u00c0 l&rsquo;arriv\u00e9e des enseignants de la London Missionary Society, on d\u00e9battit s&rsquo;il fallait s&rsquo;appuyer sur ce syst\u00e8me arabe ou importer l&rsquo;alphabet latin. Avec Radama, ils choisirent le latin \u2014 et le 26 mars 1823, il promulgua un d\u00e9cret royal en faisant l&rsquo;\u00e9criture officielle du malgache. Ce seul choix explique pourquoi le malgache s&rsquo;\u00e9crit aujourd&rsquo;hui avec les m\u00eames lettres que l&rsquo;anglais et le fran\u00e7ais, et pourquoi la langue fut si vite standardis\u00e9e, imprim\u00e9e et enseign\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00c9coles, bibles et un \u00c9tat moderne<\/h2>\n<p>Radama invita les missionnaires \u00e0 ouvrir des \u00e9coles enseignant la lecture et les m\u00e9tiers aux nobles et aux futurs fonctionnaires. Ils imprim\u00e8rent des livres, traduisirent les \u00c9critures et form\u00e8rent une premi\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration d&rsquo;administrateurs lettr\u00e9s \u2014 le fondement d&rsquo;une fonction publique moderne. En \u00e0 peine deux d\u00e9cennies, un royaume qui gouvernait par la m\u00e9moire et l&rsquo;oratoire se dota d&rsquo;une bureaucratie \u00e9crite. La rapidit\u00e9 du changement fut extraordinaire, et tous ne l&rsquo;accueillirent pas favorablement ; la r\u00e9action viendrait sous sa successeure.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi cela compte aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h2>\n<p>Radama mourut en 1828, \u00e0 trente-cinq ans seulement, la sant\u00e9 min\u00e9e par l&rsquo;alcool, et eut pour successeure son \u00e9pouse principale, Ranavalona I, dont le long r\u00e8gne renverserait une grande partie de son ouverture au monde ext\u00e9rieur. Mais son d\u00e9cret sur l&rsquo;alphabet ne fut jamais annul\u00e9.
