| | Chick and Wade: Restandardisation in the direction of a new English |
 | | Zulu has relatively low status despite (according to estimates provided by Schuring, 1995) having the largest number of first-language speakers (8.5 million) of all languages in South Africa as a whole, and the greatest number of second-language speakers of all indigenous languages. |
 | | It is evident from the responses of Zulu speakers to this question that English has very positive symbolic value for them: 57.9 percent indicated that for them English is the language of international contact and 29.78 percent that it is for them the language of national unity. |
 | | Though, of the 11 official languages, English, Afrikaans, and Zulu are used as languages of learning and instruction, only in formerly Afrikaans-medium schools is an official language other than English used as language of learning and instruction after the fourth year of schooling. |
