Tyra
Dear Student,
While I was doing research on comparing the United States and South Africa. I learned that South Africa has 11 official languages.
You are indeed right because we have different languages in South Africa which are Isixhosa,Sesotho,Sepedi,Afrikaans,English,Isizulu,Isindebele,Tsonga,Tshivenda,Isiswati and Setswana.I also would like to know how many languages do you have in America and name them?Are you grouped according to those languages?
You have a cool name.Do you have any cultural beliefs? If so tell me about them. Do you have a special day in which you celebrate your culture? I look foward to hearing from you. from edward.mazibuko@gmail.com
