Ukwakha amabala

Did you know that Ndebele words are made from combining different letters of the English alphabet? The most fascinating thing about the language are the clicking sounds made when pronouncing certain letters such as Q, C, X. In the Ndebele language all the letters of the alphabet are used except for the letter R. Lets have fun with the sounds to start with. An MP3 file is attached
