(Redirected from SinDebele)
The 'Northern Ndebele language', or 'isiNdebele', or 'Sindebele', is an African language belonging to the
Nguni group of
Bantu languages, and spoken by the Ndebele or
Matabele people of
Zimbabwe. It is commonly known as Sindebele.
Sindebele is related to the
Zulu language spoken in
South Africa. This is because the
Ndebele people of
Zimbabwe descend from followers of the Zulu leader
Mzilikazi, who left
kwaZulu in the early
nineteenth century during the
Mfecane.
