------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 27 12:26:40 -0700 2005 ------- Liz, my understanding below: "Sesotho sa Leboa" is Northern Sotho. This was originally a government pseudo-fabrication that covers several languages, the official variety of which is a dialect called Sipedi. "Sesotho" is Sotho or Southern Sotho. "Siswati" is also called "Swazi" in English but hardly ever "Swati". "Swazi" is the Zulu word for Swati (which the English name of the country Swaziland comes from - hence the name of the country in English is "Kingdom of Swaziland" but in Siswati is "Umbuso weSwatini"). Whether or not to include the prefix is a matter of variation (to the degree that "Language in South Africa", a definitive textbook on languages in South Africa, has a section debating whether to use them or not). In most official government documents they are included. My experience in day-to-day speech is that I think the general rule is that the single syllable prefixes beginning with S are adopted more commonly than the others... Xhosa is commonly used without the Prefix Zulu is commonly used without the Prefix Tsonga is used more often than Xitsonga Venda is used more often than tshiVenda Ndebele is used more often than isiNdebele Siswati / Swazi are both used Sesotho / Sotho are both used Tswana / Setswana are both used However speakers of these languages may be more likely to use the name with the prefix when speaking English. I think Dwayne can probably make the best call as to what to do here... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
