	Encyclopedia: Sesotho language
		Sesotho is also the main language spoken by the people of Lesotho, where it is spoken by about 1,493,000 people, or 85 % of the population (1993).
		Sesotho (Southern Sotho) is the one of the eleven official languages of South Africa, and one of the two official languages of Lesotho.
		The use of the number 1 in Sesotho is different than in the other SLG languages, because the Sesotho "-ng" is an enumerative which behaves sometimes like an adjective and can therefore become a noun.

	An Optimality Account of Argument Reversal
		Similarly in Sesotho and Setswana, Demuth and Mmusi (1997) have argued that the inverted locative is the grammatical subject and the postposed element occupies the object position.
		The same is true for Sesotho and Setswana, and at least for Sesotho/Setswana and Chichephrasal phonology and word order patterns that the postposed element in inversion constructions is in the object position (Demuth and Mmusi 1997, Bresnan and Kanerva 1989).
		In Sesotho and Setswana, agentive object is permitted in reversal involving intransitive unergative predicates, as in (16), but not with simple transitive predicates where patient is subject.

	Gauteng Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Situated in the heart of the Highveld, Gauteng is the smallest province in South Africa with only 1.4% of the land area, but it is highly urbanised and has a population of 8,837,178 (2001 South African National Census), the second-largest after KwaZulu-Natal.
		The name Gauteng comes from the Sesotho phrase meaning Place of Gold, referring to the thriving gold industry in the province following the 1886 discovery of gold in Johannesburg.
		The Sesotho phrase was in turn derived from the Afrikaans "goud" (gold) plus the locative suffix "ng." When properly pronounced, the first letter of the name Gauteng is a guttural G, pronounced similarly to the "ch" in the German "achtung" or Scottish "loch." This guttural pronunciation is natural in both the Sesotho and Afrikaans languages.
