Facts about the Zulu language
There are approximately ten million native Zulu speakers living in and around the Kwa-Zulu Bantustan province of South Africa . Zulu, called 'isiZulu' in Zulu, has been South Africa 's 11 th official language since the end of apartheid in 1994.
Zulu is a particularly challenging language to master. Not only is Zulu, like many other Bantu languages, tonal with a complex grammar system, but it has also retained the distinctive 'clicking' consonants found in earlier regional languages such as San and Khoi. Because Zulu is written in the Roman alphabet, these click sounds are expressed through unique combinations of graphemes (alphabetic letters). |
