These notes are a comprehensive, detailed break-down of the ENTIRE isiZulu (as first additional language) language cyllabus and contain full descriptions, examples and explanations of how to do each section. As a matriculant in 2018, I have sent these notes in for checking and editing by my teacher...
In Zulu, ones lips aren’t meant to touch and therefore certain letters cannot be placed next to each
other.
**Sounds “-th-, -kh- & -ph-” aren’t not allowed to be preceded by letters “n” or “m.” When this
happens, cancel out the letter “h-” (ie: -nth-, -nkh-, -nph- OR -mth-, -mkh-, -mph-)
(This is mainly used in “ulu-” noun plurals and adjectives.)
Example: Indlu en+khulu Indlu enkulu
nkh
**Consonants “w-” & “o-” are not allowed to follow respectively, as both sounds are produced in
the front of the mouth. When this happens, cancel the “w-”
(This is mainly used with the prefixes “lu-” and “ku-” as well as vowel commencing verbs and possessives)
In Zulu, a syllable is always made by cutting the word directly after each vowel
Examples: um-fa-na im-bo-ngi u-mu-ntu
**Always remember this when doing sound changes and in poetry (invumelwano)
