Ikhalenda yesiXhosa

Kwikhalenda yesiXhosa, ngokwenveli, unyaka uqala kwinyanga yeSilimela uze uphele ngekaCanzibe, xa kanye i-Canopas, inkwnkwezi enkulu ebonakala kumZantsi-womDibaniso okwayindawo apho kujikeleza khona izinto zomhlaba ezibonakalayo ezithe ngcu kumzantsi we-equator. 

Zimbini iindlela zokubiza iinyanga apha esiXhoseni: ngokwale mihla nangokwemveli. Kwimimandla yasezidolophini kusetyenziswa amagama ale mihla. Kodwa ke, ezilalini, kwimibongo, ingakumbi kumNtla Koloni kusetyenziswa amagama emveli.
