Description

2021 IsiZulu Standardisation, Spelling Rules and Orthography is a revised and improved version of the 2008 edition.

The book includes the history and beginning of the development of isiZulu spelling rules and orthography and highlights the role of isiZulu academics and missionaries in the development of isiZulu writing.

There are detailed chapters on spelling rules and orthography, writing symbols, phonetics, capitalisation, place names, editing and proofreading.

This edition further explains the technique for the creation of new terms, rules for translation, interpreting and writing of dictionaries.

There is also a chapter that deals with the problems of language usage in the media, especially isiZulu words that are easily confused with other words and unnecessary usage of borrowed words instead of existing terms.

New sounds are included, which are borrowed from other languages but now form part of isiZulu.

Other chapters deal with the development of spelling rules and orthography in the isiZulu Bible; Zulu people's perception of time, days, months and the calendar; and the involvement of technology in the development of the isiZulu language.

This up-to-date book will be invaluable to various fields and professions where isiZulu is used.
