Zulu / Xhosa

"A Look At: Zulu / Xhosa" -- Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele and others are dialects of a single language, Nguni, which is rich with click consonants and noun classes. Learn how to say a few words in this video.
CORRECTION: Lesotho is missing an H on the map

Up with a new video -- Zulu / Xhosa / Ndebele ! (The longest title since "Swedish/Danish/Norwegian") Very interesting language, and I should have done more with it, but hopefully this one is still interesting and enjoyable :-) Up next: Romanian

this channel is underrated...i repeat UNDERRATED! YOU DESERVE MORE LOVE DUD

[@WorldisOurThing]

Thank you much! It's hard to get a lot of traffic when most of my videos are 2 minutes or less, but I have plans for a separate series later this year that might play better

[@thatesc]

Great video (as always)! I’d love to see Haitian Creole on here, it’s a very interesting language or maybe a different creole like Tok Pisin (from Papua New Guinea). Greetings from Oceania.

😅 fact that he used my name as an example #XD

Be badass to hear a Xhosa or Zulu rap song with its clicks

Lesotho is misspelled on the map.

[@WorldisOurThing]

Ugh -- so it is! For this kind of typo, I don't usually replace the video, but I have added a correction to the description. Thanks for catching that, and thanks for watching!

I'm learning Zulu now and I wanna know isiNguni. Where can I find the original language?

[@beingk234]

Xhosa, Zulu and Ndebele are Nguni languages. If you are learning Zulu then you are already learning a Nguni language.

Isinguni is an umbrella term for Nguni languages, with isiZulu being part of it. There are more than 3 nguni languages

[@sibusisosimama7501]

Ohk Isizulu is the closest to isinguni original language then Isiswati is a Nguni mbo language ,isixhosa is a mix of Ntu and Language because the xhosa ancestors are Ntu/Khois

One thing is wrong the Khoe ppl married Xhosa ppl helping the language. i am khoe

[@k9fangamvs53]

They married NGUNI people before they separated into Zulu, Xhosa and Ndebele. That's why we share many clicks including ukuqala, umgqibelo, uxolo.

[@autobotdiva9268]

@@k9fangamvs53 maybe. But irregardless we married xhosa ppl heavy

[@k9fangamvs53]

@@autobotdiva9268 No. You don't even know what you're talking about, a simple google search will help you. Xhosa is still mostly similar to Zulu, Even the clicks are similar. The intergration of Khoi people into the Xhosa and Zulu tribe after the separation of Nguni did not influence the languages that much.
