As a toddler 3 to 5 years old I lived on a chicken farm near Vereeniging. On the farm I had 3 friends Themba, Mtswani and the third one i can't remember. We were all just little kids having fun. Their parents and mine worked on the farm. I spoke their language fluently. That was 70 years ago!! Later when my family had to sell the farm due to the poultry all getting a bird plague, we moved to Johannesburg so I could go to school. Unfortunately over the years I forgot all my Sesotho except for very few words. I am old now but still remember my Sesotho friends on the farm. I wish to learn it again. Thank you for helping me.
Most useful information I've been through on RUclips regarding the Sesotho language. @ Tycoonseries I will be following your material closely! - thank you very much!
Wow kanti Silozi spoken in Barotseland (Western Zambia and Capri Namibia) is closely related to Sesotho. Numbers is also lipalo. 1 is ñwi pronounced the same is in Sotho, 2 is peli, 3 is talu 4 is ne. Me is na, you(singular) is wena, him/her is yena, us is luna, you (plural) is mina, them is bona. Grace is muhau Peace is kozo Hope is sepo Faith is tumelo Thanksgiving is buitumelo Prayer is tapelo /tato Joy is tabo Father is ndate/tate Mother is ima.. Hello is lumela and when plural you say amulumeleñi
That's the thing with Bantu languages Very similar in a lot of ways. From Cameroon to Kenya all the way down to South Africa and everything in between, majority of the languages spoken in these areas are part of the Bantu language family, and thus very similar.

Man you said there is no "D" in the Sesotho language, l am Sotho and there IS the letter D . When we say HELLO in sesotho we say (dumela). Then we have the letter " W " . OURS in sestho is( wa rona) , there is the W. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️😮 I am not sure why you said those letters don't exist
Kindly be aware that we are talking about “sesotho” not sotho..i don’t know what sotho is sir but we stated facts in this video. D and W are used in sesotho sa Leboea (setswana,sepedi,selozi )

Vowels are pronounced like in portuguese. As portugueses were the first European settlers in SA may be the reason I'm not sure
