Guckt schon mal, was "Entschuldigung" auf Afrikaans, Englisch, Ndebele, Nord-Sotho (Sepedi), Sotho (Sesotho), Swasi (Siswati), Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa und Zulu heißt.
Ab Samstag ist der G20-Gipfel in Johannesburg...
Das Stadtbild könnte deutsche Politiker auch stören.

happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is ledumahadi, a sauropodiform from early jurassic south africa. its name means ‘giant thunderclap’ in sesotho, befitting its size – at an estimated weight of 12 tonnes, ledumahadi was one of the largest land animals of its time

Startet tilfeldigvis på en ny serie på prime.
Viste seg at den var Sør-Afrikansk og at språkene i serien er zulu, sesotho og engelsk om hverandre.
Det er fascinerende!

Linguistic fieldwork in South Africa, day 2:
We're researching whether Sesotho exhibits any variation in the realization of its click phonemes. Preliminary results: yes, mostly by speakers who are either under heavy isiZulu influence, or live in Lesotho.
