Talk:Tswana language

message: Someone mentioned that the 'g' is an alveolar fricative, not a velar one. is anyone certain about this?
Additionally, does anyone know the jargon term for when a languages only phonemes can be consonant-vowel, i.e. a word can not end with a consonant or begin with a vowel => two consonants or two vowels cannot follow one another.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reilyjanson (talk • contribs) 00:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hey everyone,
I'm writing the article on Tsetse and have a question for those who know Tswana. As I understand the history of the word tsetse, it comes originally from Tswana, being the generic word for fly.
Does tsetse indeed mean fly in Tswana?
What is the relation between Tswana and Sotho? 
(The latter word was suggested as a possible origin for the word tsetse and may be a different language or dialect or an old word for the same language.) I hope to confirm this origin since I don't know either language. Thanks for any help.
Please leave any info on this page: Talk:Tsetse fly.

message: In the table of noun classes, the numbers don't seem to have any relation to the numbers usually associated with Ntu language noun classes. This is extremely confusing, and especially makes comparsion with other languages impossible for anyone who isn't fluent. Please either remove the numbers from the table, or rewrite the table with singulars and plurals on separate rows and use the numbers normally with Ntu noun classes. ~ 2601:441:4400:1740:1573:97D0:F03D:1269 (talk) 04:05, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
