Northern Ndebele language template

[edit]

If you are a native speaker of Northern Ndebele then you can help translate this template into your own language:

Edit

--Amazonien (talk) 23:13, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that the term "northern Ndebele" lacks references, and the name was changed without discussion from "Ndebele" last year, I propose that the article be renamed "Sindebele" as that is actually the name of the language.--AssegaiAli (talk) 12:18, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree as that term "Sindebele" is used a lot in the article--79.74.184.145 (talk) 20:59, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Northern" is ambiguous

[edit]

I'm about to publish an edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in this language. The translator, who works at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, says: "I would also advise that we refer to the language as Zimbabwean Ndebele instead of Northern Ndebele. Northern Ndebele is ambiguous as it is also used to distinguish between two dialects of South African Ndebele (Northern Ndebele and Southern Ndebele)." Since South Africa's Southern Ndebele (called just Ndebele) has Northern and Southern dialects (Northern Southern Ndebele and Southern Southern Ndebele) it makes best sense to use the term Zimbabwean Ndebele as i is unambiguous. -- Evertype· 11:02, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on Zimbabwean Ndebele language. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The q sounds

[edit]

Are you sure that the q click is made by raising the BACK of the tongue to touch the SOFT palate? I think the FRONT of the tongue touches the HARD palate, and this distinguishes it from the x sounds.

You can listen to it following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHmyjAIqBfA . The sound heard there is clearly a palatal click, not a velar one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.21.180.26 (talk) 10:05, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plain velar nasal’s orthographic representation: <ngh> or <ng>?

[edit]

Could it be that the plain velar nasal’s orthographic representation is actually <ng>, rather than <ngh> as indicated in the table? That would make more sense to the systematicity.Redav (talk) 22:40, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
