Cach\u00e9 dans le sud-est de l&rsquo;\u00eele, conserv\u00e9 des si\u00e8cles durant dans des manuscrits sacr\u00e9s, se trouve un syst\u00e8me d&rsquo;\u00e9criture dont la plupart des visiteurs n&rsquo;entendent jamais parler : le <em>sorabe<\/em>. C&rsquo;est la plus ancienne forme de malgache \u00e9crit, et l&rsquo;histoire de ceux qui l&rsquo;ont gard\u00e9, et pourquoi, ouvre une porte sur une facette de l&rsquo;\u00eele qui n&rsquo;a rien \u00e0 voir avec les l\u00e9muriens ou les plages.<\/p>\n<h2>Une \u00e9criture venue par la mer<\/h2>\n<p>L&rsquo;\u00e9criture arabe atteignit les rivages de Madagascar avec les marchands arabes et swahilis, probablement entre les VIIe et Xe si\u00e8cles. Mais ce sont les <strong>Antaimoro<\/strong> (\u00ab peuple de la c\u00f4te \u00bb), dont les clans aristocratiques s&rsquo;install\u00e8rent dans le sud-est vers le XVe si\u00e8cle, qui en firent un syst\u00e8me d&rsquo;\u00e9criture malgache. Ils adapt\u00e8rent l&rsquo;alphabet arabe aux sons de leur langue et appel\u00e8rent le r\u00e9sultat <em>sorabe<\/em> \u2014 litt\u00e9ralement \u00ab grandes \u00bb ou \u00ab larges \u00e9critures \u00bb. Pendant des si\u00e8cles, ce fut la seule fa\u00e7on de coucher le malgache sur le papier.<\/p>\n<h2>Une \u00e9criture pour les secrets, pas pour les listes de courses<\/h2>\n<p>Le sorabe ne fut jamais une \u00e9criture du quotidien. Il \u00e9tait sacr\u00e9 et, souvent, d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9ment secret. Les manuscrits consignaient le savoir le plus pr\u00e9cieux d&rsquo;une communaut\u00e9 : astrologie et lecture des destins, divination, g\u00e9n\u00e9alogies, m\u00e9decine par les plantes, charmes protecteurs et rituel religieux. C&rsquo;\u00e9tait le domaine des <strong>ombiasy<\/strong> \u2014 des lettr\u00e9s mi-astrologues, mi-gu\u00e9risseurs, mi-pr\u00eatres. Savoir lire le sorabe, c&rsquo;\u00e9tait d\u00e9tenir un pouvoir, et ce savoir se transmettait avec soin plut\u00f4t qu&rsquo;il ne se partageait librement.<\/p>\n<h2>Les sages qui parcouraient l&rsquo;\u00eele<\/h2>\n<p>Les ombiasy antaimoro ne restaient pas en place. Emportant leur \u00e9criture et leur r\u00e9putation, ils parcouraient Madagascar, exer\u00e7ant leurs arts pour les communaut\u00e9s locales, conseillant les rois, et fondant parfois leurs propres principaut\u00e9s. Des souverains des hautes terres \u2014 dont, plus tard, la cour merina \u2014 consultaient les devins antaimoro sur le moment des guerres, des couronnements et des grandes d\u00e9cisions. Un petit peuple du sud-est tissa ainsi son influence dans la politique de toute l&rsquo;\u00eele, un manuscrit et une proph\u00e9tie \u00e0 la fois.<\/p>\n<h2>Ce qui subsiste<\/h2>\n<p>La plupart des manuscrits sorabe conserv\u00e9s aujourd&rsquo;hui furent copi\u00e9s au XIXe si\u00e8cle, m\u00eame si certains textes sont bien plus anciens, et au moins un pourrait \u00eatre ant\u00e9rieur aux ann\u00e9es 1600. Ils sont \u00e9crits sur un papier fait d&rsquo;\u00e9corce locale d&rsquo;<em>avoha<\/em> \u2014 le m\u00eame artisanat papetier antaimoro qui survit aujourd&rsquo;hui comme industrie de souvenirs. Lorsque le roi Radama I officialisa l&rsquo;alphabet latin en 1823, l&rsquo;\u00e9criture malgache courante \u00e9volua ; mais le sorabe perdura l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il avait toujours v\u00e9cu, entre les mains de familles qui le consid\u00e8rent comme un h\u00e9ritage et une charge sacr\u00e9e plut\u00f4t que comme un simple texte.<\/p>\n<h2>Pourquoi cela compte aujourd&rsquo;hui<\/h2>\n<p>Le sorabe rappelle que l&rsquo;histoire de Madagascar n&rsquo;est pas seulement austron\u00e9sienne et africaine mais aussi arabe, et que l&rsquo;\u00eele \u00e9tait lettr\u00e9e \u00e0 sa fa\u00e7on bien avant l&rsquo;arriv\u00e9e des Europ\u00e9ens. Pour un voyageur, cela recadre le sud-est \u2014 autour de Vohipeno et Manakara \u2014 comme un lieu d&rsquo;histoire \u00e9crite profonde, et non de simple paysage.
