		IsiZulu is a South African Language that is spoken in KwaZulu and in almost all Black townships (Ghettos), especially around Johannesburg.
		IsiZulu is a relatively "phonetic" language, you can almost always tell how a word is pronounced by the way it's spelt.
		Unlike English or French, IsiZulu does not have silent letters, and its spelling is not as weird as English.
