Hlubi language
IsiHlubi is a Bantu language of South Africa, traditionally considered a dialect of Swazi.[3] It is spoken in South Africa, near where the Xhosa, Sotho, and Phuthi languages meet at the Orange River and the southern point of Lesotho. The scattered Hlubi people speak several languages, including Swazi, and the Hlubi dialect of Xhosa in the former Bantustan of Ciskei.[2]
Not to be confused with Xhosa language.
