I have no idea what he's saying but the language and delivery sound so cool. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@ArtModaHTX]

Agreed 100%

[@Macieks300]

I like Mojack's delivery. Very expressive.

[@albertconstantine5432]

Bravo. The recitation of poetry offers a heightened, formal hearing of a language's potential for non-transactional, elevated discourse. Powerful and a pleasure. Thank you.

[@valentinwodolashski8046]

Poetry is a beautiful way to present a language. Thank you!

[@rykaro69]

I can’t understand his words but his rhythm and passion for storytelling transcends all language barriers. I loved hearing this language! Thanks Mojack :)

[@kcashinb]

Amazing. Would love have more videos from Wikitongues featuring poetry recitations because it offers a completely different experience of the language

[@Wikitongues]

Thank you for your feedback! We would love to share more, too--so if anyone reading this would like to submit a video of a poetry recitation, please send it our way

My tongue. My people. Beautifully delivered, 'we kalombwana.

tonal language or not?

[@geo1themove]

Yes, although the tones in Niger-Congo languages are easier to understand than the ones in Mandarin

[@miyoba1]

Ila southern Zambia 🇿🇲

[@matfejpatrusin4550]

I probably sound stereotypical, but I swear I can hear rythms that I know from various african music performances.
Somehow the groove of it is working with similar rythmic patterns for me.
Thanks for sharing!

[@jimmyshrimbe9361]

He sounds like Jabba the Hut sometimes.

[@zhbvenkhoReload]

Nice to see an African Americans preserving and PROUD of AAVE

[@junbh2]

I don't think this guy is American or has any connection to America. It says he's Zambian and it was recorded in Zambia.

[@gavinmccormick3658]

Umm, this is not English lmao

[@gayvideos3808]

He's not african american, he's from zambia

[@blazerlazer55]

this comment confuses me greatly

[@zypherdose]

Americans being Americans

[@lunemacabre6006]
