A-Z of Xhonglish

  • A-Z of Xhonglish
    isiXhosa & English!
  • "Mzansi’s official 12th language. Xhonglish, the use of English & xhosa in one word! I confirm, there is no country in the world that has managed to come up with such an innovative, versatile & simpler language ever. From the use of the prefix (i) infront of an English word e.g. iPlasma Screen/ iconvertible/ i-internet etc .. to the creation of words such as Dust-isha/ Rins-a/ Shower-isha/ Motivat-a & everyone’s favourite & trademark.... ENTER-isha!!!

    Therefore, if you happen to be one of the people that can’t finish a sentence without referring to your very own thesaurus of SA’s 12th official language, then join in this revolution in promoting, cultivating & preserving this unique & Proudly South African language we call, XHONGLISH!"
