Zulu’s languages, is a Bantu languages, part of the Nguni subgroup. The Zulu’s kingdom played e big role in South African history during the 19th and 20th centuries.
They are today the most numerous ethnic group in South Africa, and now they have equal rights along with all other people.
The Zulu were originally a major clan in what is today Northern KwaZulu-Natal. At that time the region was occupied by many large Nguni communities and clans.
Nguni communities had migrated down Africa’s east coast over thousands of years ago, as part of the Bantu migrations probably arriving in what is now South Africa in about 9th century A.D.
