Tsk, YouTube "ate" my first comment...that's why my last comment started with "by the way"...In my first comment I basically said that Xhosa is a so-called Bantu language, although it was influenced by the Khoisan languages, hence the clicks.
you are right I speak 3 of those Bantu languages fluently all having the clicks in them Ndebele , Zulu and Xhosa .. but Xhosa has more clicks than the Zulu and Ndebele... if you understand one you will understand the other .
Doen't lie. Xhosa has got a few clicks while Khoisan's language has got many clicks. Don't be a proffesor of a language that is not your mother-tongue!!!
j0eg0d: By the way, the use of the term "black" in South Africa isn't felt as derogatory, because, of course, "African American" won't work here. ;-) We do use "African" as well, but that is controversial because white (and blue, purple, green, etc.) people who have lived here for generations are, of course, "Africans" as well...:p~
I thought I commented on this yesterday. ahh...YouTube comment monster stole my comment! This made me laugh so hard! I laughed and laughed and laughed! I still do everytime I watch it! LOL!

Xhosa has 3 different clicks, but 15 derivations of them,(JUST LIKE ZULU).
Let' see if I know some of the click words
ezoqoqosho- ecomonics
sixhenkxe- seven
uluncwadi-literature
ubugcisa- art

Is it true that Xhosa has fifteen click consonants? (Source: Wikipedia)

Yeah that is crazy :0 U r better than me. But there is a guy who sounds good saying it. Do you know what language is it?
grafinia 5 years ago
That guy was good. It's basically a Khoisan language, but KhayaV called it something specific like "isiXhosa" I think.
j0eg0d 5 years ago
No, no, it's not a Khoisan language at all!
Graanvlok 4 years ago
I think it is called that on a generalized term for the broader regions.
I just couldn't remember the specifics that Khaya said.
Please clarify me, if I'm mistaken. Everyone is interested in this.

LOL - Well, as an artist I wouldn't call Khaya "black".
Actually people might be surprised that I can use a variation of one color for every race in the world.
All colors are based on red, yellow & blue. So to a painter; we're all just a different shade of yellow.

You're absolutely right! Also the term African American is flawed because Berbers and Egyptians living in America are African American and not Black.
