Ndebele Click Language Pronunciation

[@claraclarajean]

Thank you for being the only accurate video I trusted to help me pronounce "Ndebele" correctly.

[@kaym319]

people you should learn your history,his speaking Ndebele of King mzilikazi from matebeleland wich is a dialect of the Zulu language, mzilikazi separated from Tshaka zulu and went north to what we call Bulawayo now,so yes if you understand Ndebele you probably understand Zulu and Xhosa

[@francescafasso8159]

hey there! Im looking up some history from your country, and reading a book from a Zimbabwean writer as well: NoViolet Bulawayo. One of the characters' named Tshaka Zulu, I bet you speaking of a different one tho, right? Was he another king, like Mzilikazi or tribe's elder? cheers Fran

[@dee4069]

isiNdebele from Zim uses Zulu and Xhosa stuff interchangeably but the language is largely biased to Zulu, actually Ndebeles are Nguni

[@busisiwe7324]

There is this one too *qumu'qethu gecu'qethu* Thats how we were taught eskolweni,, proudly Ndebele

[@mduduzinkala5729]

It's not only the click sounds that I notice some people (especially English speaking) find difficult but its also sounds like hl as in hlola, b as in bona, md as in mduduzi and nd as in Ndebele. There are many more in the list. It's only a matter of getting to know what you've got to do in you mouth in order to say the sound. Once you get the sound, the logical structure of the language especially writing is very easy as you write as you say and say as you write. The odd thing about this is that the English sound "th" as in thing is not available in Ndebele but just about every Ndebele speaker can say it.

frog is xoxo👌😂 i love my native language, its so simple yet complex.

[@francescafasso8159]

heeey! what is that last sentence, girl? frogs are gathering..here? years?hears? tnx

[@alyssadiamond688]

If you wrote “Xoxo” to some one ... eg Have a great day Alyssa Xoxo You would assume you are saying hugs and kisses... But in mndebele “Xoxo” translates to frog 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👌🏾

[@francescafasso8159]

@@alyssadiamond688 eg? xoxo is like in the english lang. = kisses or smetn? wait.. you mean frog=xoxo=kisses perhaps? what about the last sentence he says in the video? frogs are gathering...?

@@mightygeekinnovations9339 thanks mightyGeek!! Relistening After a long time, it sounds awesooome! What does It mean? Is It like a proverb or smetn like that? Why would frogs be gathering earrings?! XD

[@TshwareloLeaka]

The clicking sounds exactly the same as the isiXhosa language in South Africa.

[@tony3966]

Ndebele people are actually Zulu's from South Africa

[@eathh_23]

They arent zulus they are their own tribe ​@tony3966

Okuthayo nguyena owazi mhlophe. 1) Beka ithemba lakho kuyo (Inkosi). 2)Bona ukwenza kwenkosi kuyabukeka asikumangalisa. 3) Bonga lokhu engenzele khona Inkosi. My name is close to yours in structure and meaning and it took me a lifetime to eventually get it right. That's why. Otherwise thanks for sharing.

Nowhere. We ALL came from Africa. You could consider these 'African' languages as some of the most 'Human' languages.

[@siphodube6741]

No it's NOT Xhosa. It is isiNdebelle from Zimbabwe.

[@shadreckdangaphotography]

That was the reaction I got from south Africans when they heard me speak. It's not Xhosa.

[@dee4069]

Remember there are Xhosas in Matabeleland

[@beernhouse6068]

Bullshit thats Xhosa. Not Ndebele

[@shepherd7583]

Enock Tom Sindane it's similar

[@mduduzinkala5729]

Enock Tom Sindane If you mean the language that has more clicks is Xhosa instead of Ndebele then you may be right (I am not sure about that as I don't know much about Xhosa). But in the case of the language that Bhekinkosi is speaking it's actually Ndebele spoken in Zimbabwe, I speak it myself.
