Xitsonga Translation Focus
Welcome to our Xitsonga translation services where we cater for South Africa's eighth most-spoken language. We are dedicated to providing high-quality translations that cater to the diverse needs of South Africans, particularly those residing in the northeast region of the country where, as per the 2022 national census, over two and a half million people proudly consider Xitsonga as their home language.
We translate a range of documents and media to cover educational, environmental, and legal organisations communicating directly in the home language of these communities.
Xitsonga translations primarily reach communities in Limpopo such as Giyani, Malamulele and Tzaneen.
First Language to One in Twenty South Africans
Xitsonga, often abbreviated as Tsonga or referred to as Shangaan in English, is a vibrant language primarily spoken in the northeastern parts of South Africa. It holds the distinction of being the country's eighth most-spoken language, representing approximately 5% of the population. The language's prevalence is particularly significant in areas such as Limpopo, where it enjoys widespread usage in regions like Giyani (92% of speakers), Malamulele (94% of speakers), and Tzaneen (45% of speakers).
It is worth noting that Xitsonga holds a special place in Mpumalanga's Bushbuckridge, where it serves as the first language for an impressive 57% of the population, comprising over half a million South Africans. Additionally, across the nation approximately one in twenty South Africans proudly claim Xitsonga as their first language, and in the City of Tshwane, it accounts for 8.4% of the population, as recorded in the 2011 census.
