Orthographic variations within a dialect are not counted: -- amaray, amaraina and amaraiñy (tomorrow in Antankarana) add 1, not 3.

Names (historical, geographical) are separately counted in their own categories. Thus the 64 739 Malagasy words and 8 485 Malagasy expressions claimed here represent conservative minima, not artificially inflated numbers. The above counts change frequently, since the site is updated several times per week. Malagasy words and expressions are continuously added. Foreign words are added indirectly, as a by-product of the translations of new Malagasy words.
