A Niger-Congo language and a Bantu member of the Benue-Congo group of languages (Nguni subgroup), spoken by some 2 million people chiefly in Swaziland, where it is an official language, as well as in South Africa and Mozambique.
The closest linguistic affiliation is with Zulu; also known as Swati, Swazi, Tekela, or Tekeza. Lukhona speaks to Siswati Researcher at the South African Centre for Digital Language Resources, Muzi Matfunjwa on this edition of the language corner.
