Angelique (angelique682) So we were talking about having one language each month for the SA word challenge. With the use of a handy random number generator and the ever clever google I bring you the suggested order. I also added some links for possible words.

January - Sotho-http://sesotho.wikispaces.com/words

February-Afrikaans

March-Swati Language- http://swazilandsolidaritynetworkcana...

April-Zulu- http://mylanguages.org/zulu_vocabular...

May-Xhosa- http://learn101.org/xhosa_vocabulary.php

June-Tsonga- http://archive.phonetics.ucla.edu/Lan...

July-Venda- http://archive.phonetics.ucla.edu/Lan...

August-English

September-Southern Ndebele- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern...

October-Northern Sotho- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern...

November-Tswana- http://www.salanguages.com/setswana/w...

Damn if only we had 12 official languages then we would have been sorted for the year! :D

Lauren Smith We could have one month for slang :) And words that are commonly used no matter what language you speak.

Claudia (claudiavstoomanybooks) | 1779 comments No, I was confused with which month we were doing. I thought it was Sotho now. :)
