Back in high school we used to call this girl African original because of that Amarula advert..😂😂😂

KingCold:
I think these people are from the "Dinka"tribe of South Sudan, the same tribe that model Alek Wek comes from.

I cannot can..😂😂😂

KingCold:
Lol.

This one will walk pass you without notice in the night without light

Wait? Khoisan only belong to Namibia and Botswana?

But we also have Khoisans in South Africa, in fact, the land belongs to them.

OndoRaph:
OK, Africa has 4 family of languages unlike 5 in Europe. They are: Afro Asiatic, Niger-Congo (Bantu/non Bantu), Khoisian, and Nilo Saharian. South Sudan has about 62 native languages which MOST belong to Nilo Saharian family. South Africa, West Africa belong to Niger-Congo; North Africa belong to Afro Asiatic; Khoisan belong to Namibia and Botwana

Bellotelli:
That's the dullest girl on nairaland.

Samantha124:
Yes, I'm an African, but I classify under Bantu people and my tribe is Sepedi.

So what African ethnic group do they classify under?

You are special, I am well versed especially in the science field and I have never given any special thoughts about it. I am a Nigerian and I don't even know what stock I belong to lol

Ilamina:
xhosa

You keep asking after she has specified in her initial reply.

You mean Khoisan is also a language? If yes then it's possible because there is no clear cut of the geography of language families on national grounds. West Africa, Southern Africa, South Eastern African; 95% in this locations speak languages that belong to Niger-Congo (Bantu) language family. The remaining 5% might belong to another family. Hope you get? MOST is the deal here

KanielOutis92:
How were you able to tell her tribe by merely looking at her? Was it because of the excess melanin? Are the Dinka people of South Sudan naturally this black?

Yes.

Actually there's no such thing as Khoisan, it's "khoi" and they speak a language called Khoe , this language is on the coat of arms of South Africa and is the same language that gave birth to Xhosa

G most Naija languages belong to Niger-Congo (Bantu) language family. It's good to know. Like English language belong to Indo-European family of languages in Europe. Further sub classification in the family classifies English to Germanic; there is another sub classification here too that further class English under West Germanic. Thus, English belongs to West Germanic of the Germanic Tribes of Indo-European language family. Just an extra 1 cent.

Yes, Khoisan is also a language and it's also believed that the Xhosa language descended from Khoisan because of the clicks when they speak.

I guess the language has got 50% Khoisan and 50% Bantu in it.

Saying Khoisan is akin to saying "YorubaIgbo" people

Ok, I get

G 'Yorubaigbo' are languages now. I am talking about the families of languages rather not languages. Click?

Haibo! KingCold why are you lying? What do you mean there's no such a thing as Khoisan? Are you trying to say that I made it up in my head?

Khoisan is another term for the Khoe and the San people.

Khoisan is another term for the Khoe and the San people.

Its true, San and Khoi are two different things, two different languages. No you didn't make t up in yor head, ts widely used but in it's an erroneous term. For example, you can't go to the people and cal them khoisan they will most take offense. It's a recent term coined in 1928...what were they called before that time?

Nama & Khung are languages spoken in Southwest Africa that belong to Khoisan as a language family. If 'Khoi' and 'San' are languages thats Ok but know Khoisan is among the four African Language Family which all African languages are classified. There is 'German' as a language & 'Germanic' as a Sub class of language family where English, German, Spanish, Italian, French etc fall under. Hope you get the logic.

Samantha124:

Dinka tribe

I get this, but you can't call a khoi person khoisan, that's the point I'm trying to make.

They're different, but similar just like Sothos and Pedis.

Sometimes we're also referred to as Sothos, but we don't get offended.

And if I call someone a Khoisan and he or she gets offended, I honestly wouldn't take that person seriously..😅😅😅

But some of us are already used to calling them the Khoisan, they should understand by now...

Tsongas apparently also find the word Shangaan offensive too, but most Limpopians still call them Shangaan, myself included and they don't seem offended by it.

Lol, uyabone ke? Wer'e on the same page, there's no formal writing that will refer to Tsonga people as Shangaans because they aren't that.

But you need to understand that identity is something people take seriously.

I still don't see anything offensive in it, but anyways, okay.

Ey ngwana mme is it true that Pedi guys are mama's boys vele?

Lol... I've never been in a serious relationship with a Pedi guy and my brother passed away many years ago, so I wouldn't know..😂😂😂

But my brother used to cook, clean, and wash his clothes like every girl in the house.
