  • @Paulbarbato

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

  • 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.

  • Beautiful!!

  • @Paulbarbato sorry mate jumped the gun...

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

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

  • @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.

  • @Paulbarbato no it is not Swahili it is isiXhosa

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

  • 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"
