JQ99 in Africa... Zulu Click Song

[bobthemage]

The song is called "Qonqotwane" and is a song about a beevil, a " little knocking beetle" this is what Qonqotwane means, literally "little knocker" . This song is used by Xhosa mothers to teach little children the click-sounds.

hakuna matata! lol

[Paulbarbato]

That's actually Swahili, not Zulu.

[SeaOfRubies]

@Paulbarbato Um...Swahili? Swahili is spoken in EAST Africa and it has NO clicks.

This isn't even Zulu. It's Xhosa.

[Paulbarbato]

No I was talking to 333hotshot333 who said "Hakuna matata" That's Swahili.

-I can't tell the difference between Zulu and Xhosa, I just assumed this was Zulu because the title of this video says "Zulu click song"

[SeaOfRubies]

@Paulbarbato Oh, I misunderstood! I can't tell the difference, either, I just know that Miriam Makeba said it was a Xhosa wedding song.

@Paulbarbato

both languages are tribal languages in South Africa. They are different like German an Dutch are but also very similar

[uChakide]

@Paulbarbato no it is not Swahili it is isiXhosa

[Paulbarbato]

@uChakide Again if you read my response to SeaOfRubies you'll realize I was replying back to 333hotshot333 when they said "Hakuna Matata" Which is Swahili, not Zulu. I only said "Zulu because the title of this video is "Zulu click song" so I assumed it was Zulu.

[uChakide]

@Paulbarbato sorry mate jumped the gun...

[AkaoKiyotsu]

@uChakide Xhosa isn't the only language with clicks.

[uChakide]

@AkaoKiyotsu I know that... but it has no bearing on the fact the song is in isiXhosa, trust me!

[phonophesile]

It's XHOSA,not ZULU...C'mon man,get it right! Nice Version, though.
