Sepedi language overview
Sepedi is a fascinating language and culture that is spoken by millions of people in South Africa and beyond. Here is an overview of some of the aspects of Sepedi that you may find interesting:
- Sepedi is one of the 11 official languages of South Africa, along with Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda and Xitsonga.
- Sepedi belongs to the Sotho-Tswana language group, which is part of the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo family of languages. Sepedi is closely related to Sesotho and Setswana, but has its own distinctive features and dialects
- Sepedi is also known as Northern Sotho or Sesotho sa Laboa, which means “Sotho of the North” or “Sotho of the Upper Region” respectively. The name Sepedi comes from the word “pedi”, which means “two” or “double”, and refers to the two main subgroups of the Pedi people: the Marota (or Bapedi) and the Ndebele (or Amandebele).
- Sepedi is spoken by about 4.6 million people in South Africa, mainly in the northeastern provinces of Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. It is also spoken by some communities in neighboring Botswana.
- Sepedi has a rich oral tradition that includes proverbs, riddles, praise poems, folktales and songs. Some of the famous Sepedi literary works are Mampuru: Our Story (1989) by N.S. Thema, Dikeledi (1995) by M.J. Molepo and Ga ke Modisa (2009) by S.S. Mushi.
- Sepedi has its own traditional music genre called Kiba, which is performed by men only and involves singing, dancing and playing drums. Kiba music is often played at weddings, initiation ceremonies and other social events.
- Sepedi has a unique wedding ceremony that involves the negotiation of Lebola (or Lobola), which is the bride price paid by the groom’s family to the bride’s family in exchange for their daughter. The bride’s family can request anything they want, such as livestock, money, clothing or even whiskey. The bride also has to perform some tasks on her wedding day, such as collecting wood and water from a river, while wearing a Dintepa, which is a dress made from cowhide. The wedding ceremony is concluded by the slaughter of a cow or sheep and the sharing of the meat between both families.
