Xhosa is one of the official languages of South Africa. Xhosa is spoken by approximately 7.9 million people, or about 18% of the South African population. Like most Bantu languages, Xhosa is a tonal language, that is, the same sequence of consonants and vowels can have different meanings when said with a rising or falling or high or low intonation. One of the most distinctive features of the language is the prominence of click consonants; The word "Xhosa," the name of the language itself, begins with a click.
Xhosa is written using a Latin alphabet-based system. Three letters are used to indicate the basic clicks: c for dental clicks, x for lateral clicks, and q for palatal clicks. Tones are not indicated in the written form.

Things to consider when translating between Xhosa and other Languages
Layout designs - Text typically expands or contracts when translating one language to
another. English to Xhosa translations and Xhosa to English translations, will contract
or expand depending on the subject matter.
Which Xhosa do you need for your translation?
Getting the Xhosa translation of your documents right can be very tricky. Clearly there's
only one Xhosa language but as in most countries different sections of the population will
have different ways of saying things. Your Account Manager will discuss the target market
of your document with you. Clearly if your Xhosa translation is aimed at teenagers it will
need to use their phrases and maybe even slang. Missing these small issues can be the
difference between a successful translation and a bad one.
