Thank you so much sis😊❤🇿🇦🇿🇲

@Rekgomoditswe in Silozi Lehlohonolo, written as Litohonolo means luck/lucky

Bo kela luitumeza for sharing and just to add on twembuci is the version used as a name but in everyday spoken Lozi for “ours” we say “waluna” which is still very similar also “Nyambe” is not a name Sotho because that is the actual name of the diety/god of the Lozi people it’s different from Mulimo as we call it in Lozi or modimo as you guys say It as that means “god” but this is the name like you have the name Jesus for the Christian God Also our languages are similar coz Lozi is actually a dialect of Sotho a group of Sotho-Tswana people run to western Zambia during the time of shakas wars and conquered the local people the Sotho they brought mixed with the local luyana language forming the language we now call Lozi that’s why the pronunciations differ a little but trust me we can communicate and fairly understand each other I do it all the time with my Sotho friends we are one people ❤️

Seems like it will not be difficult at all! Mind blowing!! 👌

@@sophielulu7687 I would love to have some Sotho friends 🥺

😊🇿🇲🇿🇦❤

I saw the video on twitter now research SiLozi😂

@@akanyangmotake3917 Twitter = kela's Diary

Yes we are language is actually a dialect of sisotho we are one people mulumele 😊

I just discovered this now and I'm going crazy!! I have to visit!

I want to learn sepedi aswell

Khodase Mkhabela I wanna learn Sepedi. Can you teach me?

Lol Kela how can you learn your own language 🥰🥰 it's just the matter of aligning nje

My goodness so we have our own siblings in Zambia! This is great! I am in South Africa

Im in UK

🥰

Nice,😉😆

Wish to learn setswana aswell

Also very similar to Sepedi language of South Africa. Remember Sepedi, Setswana and Sesotho are mutually intelligible with Sesotho the only one with clicks.

😊

Sebitwane led the kololo people from South Africa and migrated into the western part of Zambia (barotseland) many years ago.. We are indeed one😊❤

Thank you 💝

Thank you so much. Would like to learn sepedi aswell 😊🇿🇲💝🇿🇦

@@kelasdiary i am pretty sure it won't be that hard , i understand a bit of Silozi already, i am sure if someone had to speak Sepedi you would understand partially

@@mattmett8478 I believe it will be easier for me to learn sepedi so i dont feel lost when i visit S.A in future. 😊

@@kelasdiary you wont. You will feel right at home. Your language is so similar to Northern Sotho, Sesotho and Setswana.

💝

Yes and they settled here in barotseland🇿🇲

Also very similar to Sepedi language of South Africa. Remember Sepedi, Setswana and Sesotho are mutually intelligible with Sesotho the only one with clicks.

No, I live in zambia. Thank you.

🇿🇦🇿🇲❤...

🇱🇸 those people are actually basotho who migrated to Zambia. Being mosotho whether you are from Lesotho or south africa is the same tribe. U r being too specific like sesotho sa Lesotho dont matter here. Raise Lesotho flag as well

Sesotho sa lesotho,Sepedi sa limpopo SA le my own Khelobedu is just one thing.i hear everything hle.Humbled

@@refuoemafisa7685 Nope.The other way round i believe

@@malatji1stprince85 Glad we have same ancestors.

💞🙂

Thank you

For sure💝

Wow, so much similar. Thank you 😊💕❤

Just discovered this language and I am mind blown Bathong 🤯

Tumelo M It’s a beautiful language, with a fascinating history featuring one Sotho leader from the mid-1800s. I encourage you to learn more about it, and you’ll figure our languages are proof of just how deep and far our connections spread. And it’s one of the reasons I am grateful for this channel, remember to hit subscribe😉!

@@phemelobokgwathile862 Aww. Thank you so much my brother/sister. Well elaborated😊❤❤

Iam not so sure of seseli, but i know of SEKELI

@@kelasdiary oh I hope someone pops up. In the Sotho Language in South Africa the "L" was changed into a "D" but there are a few still using the "L" in their names and Surnames

So now I understand why I love Namibia, Zambia and Kenya so much maybe is fact that we are related even Bulawayo.

@@mkhondotshepo5213yes so many similar words and phrases.

@@mkhondotshepo5213 very much we are one people it's just borders that broke our bonds of being together

Thank you for this info...😊

@@kelasdiary you are welcomed.

🙂Nice Name with great meaning.

Wow, Nice

Meaning star in silozi

There's a village in Limpopo province called Naledi

Whats more fascinating is the use of "Li" is exactly how we use it in Lesotho... "Limpho" & & &

@@eddboitonline we use more of letter "L" Unlike Tswana "R"

We would pronounce it as LATILE = (LOVED)

U know in Lesotho their "D" is Li its same as the Zulu nation of Kwazulu they can't pronounce R its L in the place of R

We have Bagatla ita a clan du u have thst in Barotsiland ?

@@ratilemuwlen8759 No we don't

Wow.....Glad to know😊

Thank you for discovering us🙏

Wa peka wena... The oldest Sotho/tswana tribe southern Africa is Bahurutshe (from Botswana and some in SA). They are the ones who arrived in the south first, followed by others like Bakwena etc, Basotho come from Batswana contrary to what the white man claims in books, any serious Tswana scholar knows this, Sesotho is a washed down diluted version of Setswana (Sesotho is mixed with other languages hence why it has clicks or words borrowed from the ndebele etc). Balozi come from Basotho but obviously their dialect is even more diluted and mixed with other Zambian languages hence why some of the words they use are foreign to Setswana. Linguistically speaking, Setswana (spoken by those in Botswana, mainly Bakwena, Bahurutshe, Bakgatla etc) is the purest and closest to the original Tswana spoken by our ancestors. The rest of the Sotho / Tswana dialects are corrupted and heavily influenced by other languages

Subbed back 😊

AMEN, 🙏

In lozi we say mulimu was Alaba litapelo za luna

Mulimu wa Alaba litapelo za luna

Nice , my name sake😊❤

@@kelasdiary nice, this is lovely in Namibia, but parents from Zambia

Selozi is Lozi from Namibia. Kholebedu is mix of pedi and venda from limpopo. The only reason of similarities of Lozi and Sotho if cuz of history between basotho and lozi wars and history between the 2 tribes

Mwangala means Joy same as Tabo

Why you just giving ❤, i need you to answer my question.

Especially Sotho, sipedi and tswana.

I can agree that we gave u birth as Basotho good luck

@@albertkhusu8455 Thank you

Lumela - singular Mulumele - plural

The Sotho-Tswana language are the only unique ones that end every word in a nasal consonant "ng" except the Sesotho word "Isao". But generally, they're the only ones. Silozi is not rooted in Sesotho, it just adopted many Sesotho words because Sebitoane forbade the native population from using their language and only using Sesotho. So the language is 75% Sesotho and the remaining is vocabulary and consonants of Luhyi origin.

@@kgothatsomoiloa1784 thank you for this information.

Rubix Sentinel it’s actually a dialect of Sotho that’s why 75% of the language is still Sotho They didn’t adopt Sotho words that would mean they incorporated a few words into the original language if they did most of Lozi today would still be mostly Siluyana but it isn’t the opposite is the case The reason for the phonetic variation is because of the language style of the area it was transplanted to it followed the phonetic style of siluyana which is very expected as most people will pronounce words in a new language based on how used they are to other languages they speak and also yes the other 25% is siluyana I am hoping to one day learn this beautiful dying language of siluyana our culture must be preserved

Us in lozi is lumela (single) the mulumeleni (plural)

Yes, much similar languages.😊💝

They didn't teach us about it bcs 5gey have to make sure we stay divided in order to defeat 😏also to make sure we don't know who we are,which that makes us hate each other,makes us think we are better that our brothers and sister 😔it makes enemies to look down on each other . In SA we don't even speak or learn Khoi language 😏

Not a part of Sotho-Tswana group but in Mozambique the biggest language is called Makuwa, it shares some interesting similarities with Sotho-Tswana, like ho leta would be 'lita/leta' also in Makuwa, in other words, where other Ntu languages have Nd, Sotho-Tswana and Makuwa changed it to T; where we have Mp as in MPaka, Sotho-Tswana has phaga while Makuwa has Pakha
