The history behind the Sesotho language
Sesotho, also called Southern Sotho, is an important language in Southern Africa, spoken by millions. According to Humanities. NWU It's the national and official language of Lesotho and one of South Africa's 12 official languages, and it is mostly spoken in the Free State province.
You may also find Sesotho speakers in parts of Botswana, Namibia, and Zambia. The language comes directly from the Southern Bantu family, specifically the Sotho-Tswana group, making it closely related to Setswana and Sepedi.
The written form was largely developed by French missionaries in the 19th century, and it boasts a rich literary history, with authors like Thomas Mofolo contributing to its legacy. Sesotho is central to Basotho cultural identity and is used in education, media, and daily life. Like other Bantu languages, it uses a noun class system.
Translate SwiftIts states that while facing challenges from globalisation and the dominance of English, efforts are ongoing to preserve and promote Sesotho. It is important to remember that Sesotho, Sepedi and Setswana are very closely related languages.
