    Hello. I speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English, know a bit of IPA, and have lived in Pretoria for some time during school but I haven't learnt any local languages. So I thought to get to know a bit more about Zulu casually online just to broaden my horizon. I remember a schoolmate (Xoliswa?) asked everyone to call her X because she said no one could pronounce her name.
    When you say "b" is more implosive, do you suck air in when you pronounce baba? Sucking air through the 2 syllables or air doesn't flow at all at "b"?
    When you say "k", is it ejective? Forcing a small burst air through without releasing the tongue position, then the vowel is voiced after burst? Like the vowel sound only starts after the consonant is fully pronounced and is separate from the consonant? This to me sounds like what's happening in "t", "ts", "tsh". e.g. comparing "k" with "kh" sounds like comparing "tsh" and "j".
    For "th", this doesn't sound like the "t" I speak in English. This sounded more like the affricate "ts" to me, like the Japanese word tsunami or the German zeit.
    Lastly, I completely can't tell between the clicks with the "g" and without the "g". haha.

      @@dan339dan did you end up getting answers for this elsewhere? Or are you still curious?
      I'd love to learn Cantonese, hokkien, hakka, Shanghainese, Zulu, xhosa, shona, so many more... but alas - middle of nowhere. Dabble dabble for now.

      So yes, B is implosive. Make it by moving your jaw down with your mouth closed so that pressure in your mouth is low. Then open your lips and allow air to come in while also breathing out and voicing. That’s the best I can explain it. Just kind of try to gulp in through a B. As for K, yes it’s ejective just how you said. Force air through a K sound. This happens also in ‘T’ ‘P’ ‘Ts’ ‘Tsh’ and ‘Nhl’ sounds. As for g clicks, just kind of grunt while making the sound. You’ll never need to distinguish the sounds, but it sounds more native to say them correctly but it’s fine if you can’t tell them apart

    • @Noxolo777
      @Noxolo777 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As for the ‘Th’ sound, it’s aspirated. It is exactly the same as the Mandarin ‘T’ (I took Mandarin for 2 years)

    • @dan339dan
      @dan339dan หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Noxolo777 So for the th sound, I'm quite convinced it's not the Mandarin t, or maybe the distinction isn't there in Zulu. Can you copy this into Google Translate and check how they sound? 擦他 (Pinyin: ca ta, IPA: /tsʰa tʰa/). Furthermore, since Mandarin doesn't have voiced d, I think the Mandarin d somewhat corresponds to the Zulu t (albeit without the ejective quality): 打 (Pinyin: da, IPA: /ta/)
