Question 1: Socio-Historical Introduction to African
Languages
1.1 List the nine official indigenous South African Languages,
and critically discuss why these languages can be classified as
a ‘language family’ on their own. (13)
List of the Nine Official Indigenous South African Languages:
1. Zulu
2. Xhosa
, 3. Sesotho
4. Setswana
5. Sepedi
6. Xitsonga
7. siSwati
8. Tshivenda
9. Ndebele
Critical Discussion:
These languages can be classified as a ‘language family’ primarily
because they belong to the Bantu language group, which is a
branch of the larger Niger-Congo language family. Here are key
points to support this classification:
• Historical and Linguistic Roots: These languages share a
common ancestral language, which is the Proto-Bantu
language. Over centuries, Proto-Bantu evolved into various
Bantu languages as communities migrated and settled in
different regions.
• Grammatical Similarities: The languages exhibit similar
grammatical structures, including noun class systems, verb
conjugation patterns, and the use of prefixes and suffixes to
indicate grammatical relationships.
• Lexical Similarities: Many words across these languages are
cognates, meaning they have a common origin. For example,
basic terms and everyday vocabulary often show similarities,
reflecting their shared linguistic heritage.
• Phonological Features: They often share common phonetic
features such as click sounds (in languages like Zulu and
Xhosa) and tonal distinctions, which help in distinguishing
meanings.
