tintfo tabo batenta kahle asubuke lesinako nyalo'. Kuyadzabukisa noko kuva
kutsi lapho tintfo tenteke kabi khona kuvamise kutsi kutsiwe lentfo yentiwe
sintfu. Loku kukhombise ngalokusebaleni kutsi Iigciwane lengcondvo
selisilimatile. KwasasiNgisi nje nobe nguluphi lulwimi Iwetifika namtfwalo,
lutsatselwa etulu kudlula tilwimi tendzabuko. Empeleni bantfu bativa baphephile
futsi bakhululekile nabakhuluma lulwimi lolungasilo Iwabo. Lucwaningo
lolwentiwe bakaMarkData nga-2001 bacelwe yiPANSALB lukhombisa kutsi
bangu-22% kuphela bantfu labakwati kukhuluma kahle siNgisi bangabi nenkinga
lapha eNingizimu Afrika, bonkhe lalabanye kudvuma tithuthuthu kepha siNgisi
ngiso lesisetjentiswa yonkhe indzawo. Lucwecwe nalohloniphekile kutetilwimi e­

kumgomo welulwimi webatfumbi kanye netifundziswa tase-Afrika, ngemavi akhe
ubeka atsi:
In my first opinion, there are three major reasons. First, the
colonial period saw the imposition of a one-language model for
administration. This language, whether English, French,
Portuguese, or Spanish, became the dominant language in
practically all aspects of the public domain. Second, although
each colonial territory remained multilingual, attitudes to the
one-language model came to supercede the acceptance of
multilingualism. The elite, which had been spawned by the
colonial language policy and which consequently became the
main beneficiary of the policy, came to embrace the virtues of a
dominant official language, particularly as such a language was,
and is, also accepted as a language of wider communication.
Third, on gaining independence, leaders of the emergent
African countries became preoccupied with ensuring that the
newly independent countries ceased to be a mere
conglomeration of nationalities or a mere ngeographical
expression", forced into a union by the colonial power, but
became a truly integrated nation.
(Bamgbose, 2000:1).
Loku lokushiwo ngulowekunene kuyingcinamba sibili futsi kusatawutsatsa
sikhatsi lesidze kutsi bantfu babone kubaluleke njani kusetjentiswa
kwelulwimi Iwendzabuko. Phela lulwimi nemasiko kungumjingi
namkhotsane. Sapir, (1927) ububeka bucace budlelwane bemasiko
