I met a Zambian lady in S. Korea, and Tswana from the NW in SA and we carried a conversation in Setswana and se-Losi (apologies, if captured incorrectly). It blew my mind.
Great show indeed. I am Xhosa from South Africa. Originally from Ntsoanatsatsi in Free State. My ancestors are Sotho people although I cant speak Sesotho
I can easily understand lozi it is more related to my language khelobedu in SA especially the tone and pronounciation, we call ourselves balozi, I now understand why, I'm so fascinated
Thank you for your comment and support.You should visit Western Province when you are in Zambia.You will be amazed on how you will be able to communicate with the Lozi speaking people.
As a Mosotho I thoroughly enjoyed this😄😄❤ I laughed so much when he said "Ke opa matsoho" and he actually did that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Can I please be in part 2😄 this looks fun
Apparently l reside in S.A currently bt born en raised in Zim bt my father side we're Zambian lozi from mongu hope en wish to learn alot through yr show
I enjoyed the video. I am based in South Africa. I am Zulu but grew speaking Sesotho because my mother is a MoSotho woman who is married to a Zulu man.
30min long Love it wish it could be longer I'm lozi on my mothers side can't speak but I get the gists of the word that always stood out even as a baby was kaufela lozis use that word a lot it's like breathing to them
The Lozi is really closely related to Sepedi (Northern Sotho) cause almost everything that you guys said i lozi thats how we say it in Sepedi ( Northern Sotho).
I really enjoyed watching your video. Ke itumetse haholo. Meaning I am very happy. I am a Sotho speaking and my name is Mmamotho from Gauteng Province. Keep up the good work.
I remember listening to radio Lozi in the 70's and enjoyed when they clap hands saying tiya maboho,tiya maboho meaning clap the hands,NNA kinna sililo musupuluho Lithalo/Skin/Leather ki muana wa bolona.
We do clap our hands when we greet or when we are about to accept something from someone in south africa and we call it "phaphata" , we did it in the past but the more we adapted to the western world , only healers do that the most
ke mosotho from soth africa and am proud to say silozi and sesotho have the same historical origins. go check the migration of a king called Sebetoana, who came from from the sotho group and moved to the north of southern africa to current dat west zambia with his people...do tell if my history is not acurate.
Even the Silozi traditional attire is the same as Sesotho traditional attire. Sesotho, Setswana, Sepedi and Selozi are one family group. It's beautiful to see
the missing link there was tswana...i could fluently hear both lozi and sotho speakers....u should have brought a tswana speaker ....so its true Lozi are from Sotho clan....the language appears to have been corrupted by other languages but a tswana man can vividly and fluently make out what u guys are saying
I am pedi and everything you speak about here in lozi is exactly the same as my language…very interesting( meto as a car in lozi and in pedi is motoro)
Thank you for your comment 😀 That's interesting to know.Would you or another Pedi person be interested in appearing on the show one day?I would like to know more about the Pedi's.
The first time I know about Lozi language from the zambians soapy called zuba. Lozi is both setswana and sesotho. Zambia and Zambians sacrificed a lot for south africa during apartheid and zambians are not flocking to SA like others dd nothing for this country. Zimbians I welcome you here in SA. SA is your home
Please do the same video with a “Khilobedu” speaking person. Balobedu please volunteer. It would be very interesting. Silobedu/Khilobedu is one of the languages under Northern Sotho
I'm MoSotho. I think Sesotho variated from Silozi. I think so because in Lesotho, the 'L' in 'Li' and 'Lu' written is pronounced 'Di' and 'Du', like in 'Lumelang', it's pronounced 'Dumelang'. I notice that Bo(madame) Patra's 'L's' curl the tongue almost making it a 'D' sound. I think that because there isn't enough alphabets to express our tongues(sounds). Sometimes we have to put two alphabets together to symbol a sound that is not there in the Euro languages and therefore not in the Roman alphabet. For example, hl-e(ka); tl-a(ma). I also noticed that white people are not accustomed to pronouncing 'ts'(for tseetse) at the beginning of a word, becoming difficult for some, unlike when it's at the end, like sta'ts' or sta'tes'. The expression 'ts' in Sesotho or African languages stands as an alphabet on its own. Unlike in euro languages, the 's' at the end of 'stats' or 'mats' symbol plurality as in 'umbrellas', cars etc. In an African language like Sesotho the 't' and 's' in that order stand together to form one alphabet as in 'tl', 'hl'. My conclusion is that Basotho used the 'Lu' for dumela eg for they knew its not a straight 'D', but there wasn't a direct alphabet or symbol for that expression, somewhere between 'd' and 'L'. And what about Tshi-Kalanga? I heard they greet also 'dumelan-i'.
@@sibesokehinde Venda language covers many African languages, including Silozi... No wonder why Vendas (Limpopo, South Africa) are the most multilingual in South Africa...
And when we greet we greet in plural context , reason we do that its because we also acknowledge the ancestral lineages you're representing when we greet in that way , its because whats holy you are never direct towards thats why african languages speak in metaphors...
Mulumeleni you people should understand one thing about Lozi and Sesotho, the similarities come from the Kololo ready by Sebitwane that's how we became one people it's only that we mixed with luyana . Bo Pamela nise Kwa ndu or nise Kwa lapa lahao
This is beautiful, Silozi is more related to Sepedi. You should also invite a Pedi person and you will see what I am talking about. I speak Sepedi and I would really love to be part of the show. This is interesting!!!
hi guys basotho people and lozi people are the same people, the basotho king sebetwane travelled to zimbia looking for land for his people, he was from current day Lesotho
You know the language closely related to my language Setswana. I think Tswanas, Sothos, Lozis, Pedis are closely related. Le rona ka setswana we say dumelang.
I met a Zambian lady in S. Korea, and Tswana from the NW in SA and we carried a conversation in Setswana and se-Losi (apologies, if captured incorrectly). It blew my mind.
It is proof to me that we have common ancestry. I am a Sesotho speaker in South Africa. Good show and thank you.
Thank you so much for your support!
I speak Setwana, Serotse,and Sepedi ,I live in Kasane ,I enjoy the program
Great show indeed. I am Xhosa from South Africa. Originally from Ntsoanatsatsi in Free State. My ancestors are Sotho people although I cant speak Sesotho

Hi Vicor my name TJ or Sello and Sepedi speaking south african. I am looking for a Lozi friend please if you don't mind
In pretoria they speaak, sotho, tswana and sepedi which are similar to lozi
Zambia is my next destination. This video gives me goosebumps 🤝
Thank you for your comment and support.You should visit Western Province when you are in Zambia.You will be amazed on how you will be able to communicate with the Lozi speaking people.

That would be interesting, including Khelobedu specifically.

No, there is no other language it's the only one in zambia but it is also in namibia and Bostwana
No
Am a Ndebele with a Lozi but of Sotho background. Am stshela sabakwena

This is more Pedi/Khelobedu than both Tswana and Sotho. I think Khilobedu people originate from here.
I hope a pedi/khelobedu person volunteers to appear on the show.I would love to learn more about their language
I notice lozi uses a lot of letter "Z", pedi, setswana and sotho dont use the letter "Z" at all in their sentences
Really!that is a good observation.Thank you for your comment :)
Yes Lozi’s use Z similar to how Siswati/Zulu is structured. Lozi is a mixture of Luyana and Sotho/Tswana.
Their z is our ts
Selobodu languages uses a lot of Z
In Setswana there is no C, Q, X and Z
This is beautiful, Silozi is more related to Sepedi. You should also invite a Pedi person and you will see what I am talking about. I speak Sepedi and I would really love to be part of the show. This is
