Download or read book Shona Dialects written by Emmanuel Sithole and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a scientific study of Ndau to establish, from a purely linguistic point of view, whether or not Ndau is a dialect of Shona. For the purposes of advancing an objective and coherent argument it comparatively examines lexicological, phonological, syntactic and semantic aspects of Ndau and Mainstream Shona. The study explores the historical connections between the Ndau and the Shona people. It argues that the Ndau people were originally members of the ancient Rozvi Kingdom. It also establishes cultural and linguistic contacts between the Ndau and the Nguni people. This historic contact, as widely reported by linguists and historians tremendously contributed towards Ndau's linguistic divergence from Mainstream Shona, hereafter referred to as MS. This divergence is reflected through massive lexical, phonological and semantic differences between Ndau and MS. It portrays massive lexicological differences between Ndau and MS. Phonological aspects such as phonotactics, laterality, clicks, aspiration and ejection are also depicted as showing the influence of Nguni on Ndau.

Download or read book Language Matters in Contemporary Zimbabwe written by Collen Sabao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking to a broader global preoccupation with the state of languages and language development, this book considers issues surrounding the diverse languages, linguistic communities, and cultures of Zimbabwe. Reflecting on Shona, Xitsonga, Sotho, Xhosa, Tjwao, Nambya, IsiNdebele, Nyanja, Tshivenda, English and Braille, the book uncovers both the internal and external factors that impact language structures, language use and language ideologies across the country. The book considers how colonial legacies and contemporary language domination and minoritisation have led to language endangerment. It considers the fate of communities whose languages are marginalised and, in the process, poses questions on what can and should be done to preserve Zimbabwean languages. The authors' offerings range across subjects as diverse as music, linguistic innovation, education, human rights, literature, language politics and language policy, in order to build a rich and nuanced picture of language matters in the country. Coming at a critical moment of increasing mobility, migration, cultural plurality and globalisation, this book will be an important resource for researchers across African literature, linguistics, communication, policy and politics.

It is also generally understood by most people living in parts of western Mozampique (Tawara & Tewe dialects), northern South Africa and eastern Botswana (Kalanga & Venda dialects), and southern Zambia (Tonga dialect). The standard or mostly spoken Shona dialect is the Karanga, but each Zimbabwean province speaks it's own distinct dialect as shown below: Manicaland speaks Manyika and Ndau dialects. Masvingo and Midlands speaks Karanga/Kalanga and Venda dialects. Mashonaland East speaks Zezuru dialect. Mashonaland Central and Mashonaland West speaks Korekore dialect. Matebeleland North and South speak Ndebele, but understand standard Shona. Harare and Bulawayo metropolitans have people who speak all Shona dialects. Concept: Are you dating or married to someone from Zimbabwe? Does one of your parents speak Shona but you don't? Have you always wanted to learn Shona but can't find the right book? Have you tried learning Shona before but simply gave up? Do you already speak Shona but would like to improve your grammar knowledge? Do you dislike learning Shona by only memorizing phrases? Do you want to surprise your Zimbabwean friends and in-laws with some Shona phrases? Were you born or lived in Zimbabwe but somehow missed the opportunity to learn Shona? If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, then this book is for you. This book's concept is designed such that it makes Shona easy and fun to learn. It not only covers the most important elements of learning Shona, but also explains to you it's logic and the rules (grammar) clearly. Most chapters conclude with some usage examples or phrases to reinforce the rules and give you some Shona speaking ability immediately.

Download or read book Language Planning in Africa written by Nkonko Kamwangamalu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on language planning in the Cameroon, Sudan and Zimbabwe, explaining the linguistic diversity, historical and political contexts, current language situation (including language-in-education planning), the role of the media, the role of religion and the roles of non-indigenous languages. The authors are indigenous to the situations described, and draw on their experience and extensive fieldwork there. The extended case studies contained in this volume draw together the literature on each of the polities to present an overview of the existing research available, while also providing new research-based information. The purpose of this volume is to provide an up-to-date overview of the language situation in each polity based on a series of key questions, in the hope that this might facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities where similar issues may arise. This book comprises case studies originally published in the journal Current Issues in Language Planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Africa faced a unique set of challenges that sparked a profound spiritual response among its people. Wash and Pray: African Theological Discourse on COVID-19 delves into the heart of this response, exploring the intersections of faith, culture, history, and the pandemic that gripped the world from 2019 to 2022. The book demonstrates that for many Africans, the pandemic was not just a medical crisis but also a spiritual battle. As such, the book invites the reader to witness the historicising of the pandemic in Africa through this landmark resource for current and future generations, ensuring that the narratives of African Christianity in the face of COVID-19 and other pandemics are not lost. The chapter contributions offer diverse perspectives from Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, and the UK, each contextualising the African Christian response to the pandemic. In essence, this monograph paints a rich tapestry of African theological discourse during a global crisis, ultimately affirming that faith and science, when harmonised, can lead to a resilient and thriving community.
