As soon as he starts citing. Its starts raining....And the harder He goes on...the Stronger it rains..Thats was Phenomenal ..he has touched the hearts of the Gods of the mountains kingdom ..
Siphuthi comes from a language much older than Sigoni (Xhosa) and is less changed in some ways than Siswati which is its closest relative. It has influence from Sesotho and siXhosa but is not a mix of those. For example, words like Irhabi, rhosatsana, womo/yomo, cannot be explained by either Swati, Xhosa or Sotho... but if you look at Lala or even modern Cele, you'll see the relationship.
This is incredible, i like this guy. The invested energy shows his love for his language and culture ❤ i am very proud of you Malebela. This is the best poem
Ek was gefassineer deur die pragtige Phuthi-nasie en die wonderlike poësie. Die video van Malebela Qaoka wat sy gedig EbaPhuthi sive lesihle voordra, was betowerend en inspirerend. Ek het soveel geleer oor die Phuthi-kultuur, geskiedenis en taal uit sy woorde. Ek het dit geniet om die diversiteit en rykdom van Afrika-poësie te kyk en ek kan nie wag om meer video’s van Docu Africa te sien nie. Ek is dankbaar vir hierdie geleentheid om my horisonne te verbreed en die Phuthi-mense meer te waardeer
mixture of xhosa , sotho , swati, they are originally swati people , you find them near the boarders of lesotho and eastern cape , which explains this language. but it is very old and beautiful .
No, it is not a mixture of those languages. Say it has similarities to Tsonga and Ndebele, has been influenced by Xhosa but more so by Sotho. But like I said elsewhere, you cannot explain it by all those languages you say it is a mixture of: Line liyakekhi is Siphuthi for Nina niyakuphi. None of the rest of these mentioned languages can account for this: 1. IsiXhosa: Nina niyaphi 2. Ndebele: Nina niyakuphi 3. Sesotho: Lona leya kae 4. Tsonga: Ni ya kwini? (not sure) 5. Swati: Nine niyakuphi Clearly, line and kekhi are unique to Siphuthi. @ZIMASARAWE, no Baphuthi don't originate from emaSwati, they are older than buve bemaSwati but Baphuthi are related to the Dlamini of Swatini. Baphuthi are the same people known as amaZizi such as Thabo Mbeki, but separated about 500 years ago and entered what is now southern Lesotho 200 years before Basotho arrived. They lived with hunter gatherers such as the Kloukle people and intermarried them, that's why we can look like we are what you call bushman.
As a Mosotho from Lesotho im really sad that the language and Xhosa are not official. We rarely encounter them. Given the chance I'd have studied one of them, preferably Siphuthi because it's still not too well known. I enjoyed hearing the strong Sesotho influence in the language.
Thank you so much my brother. i am Phuthi by clan and i would hear my grandfathers says they originate from Quthing and moved to Leribe. how can one have excess to you especially if i want to know about my history?

Wow this is fascinating. A mix of Siswati, isiXhosa and seSotho. EbaPhuthi must work hard to preserve this beautiful language.

Its an ancient language. Very old language. Older than SiXhosa.

A beautiful Phuthi poetry slam! More, please!
When nguni and sotho language mix. Sounds like isindebele from Limpopo.
Yes it's the same ppl.
Ndebele in Limpopo in made up of Langa & mokopane (Kekana)
Langa a descendant of baphuti their one people
This language is a mixture of Ndebele, Sotho, Tsonga, Xhosa.....wow...I never knew about them

It does not sound like tsonga . It sounds like swati with a bit of Sesotho . But I am not saying they swati or they came from swati
Lilimi lelimnadzi karhulu! Asiboge!
Incredible!
Wow❤️
Very good ❤️❤️

NgiliSwati manje ngiyetfuka kutsi kunelulwimi lolufana nelwami
As far as Lesotho
Manje uzekwethuka nokuthi siboDlamini nathi banini balelilimi.
My great grandmother is Phuthi from Quthing
Thank you so much my brother. i am Phuthi by clan and i would hear my grandfathers says they originate from Quthing and moved to Leribe. how can one have excess to you especially if i want to know about my history?
The Baphuti language seems to mix a bit of Swati, Hlubi, and Ndebele.. I’m Xhosa speaking but was able to understand some of what he was saying.
It sounds like swati , ndebele with Sesotho there and there. But i am not saying it comes from swati
