You want learn how to pray in one of the oldest languages in the world (linguists and etymologists can say whatever they want) Then look no further, Xhosa, one of the Bantus languages from souther Africa is the one language the Scriptures of the Bible was copied of. Hebrew is a spin off of Arabic, which again stems from a Bantu language... When and where you might ask? Who knows, all we can say this stuff happened a long time ago...
If youve read some of my earlier posts, youd know that I love the ancient Xhosa language (thats right the clicking language) and the African way of Life in general. So in that line of thought, here are some Xhosa words you can pick up.
This old (profoundly rich) and seemingly forgotten South-African language Xhosa, does (somehow) manage to sneak into popular culture nowadays. Why? Well because some language just have eating to them, Xhosa is one of them. If you disagree, try it out :)
Sicknesses like EBOLA, which actually means to rott and ZIKA (which means to sink), have all been derived from the ancient language XHOSA. You could argue that words like these, and others, seem stir some inner and deep places in the human psyché, or soul if you will. They certainly will change your life if you start to use them in your prayers and worship..
Lets begin by including some Xhosa words, in normal daily life or even in your prayers (relax all EASY ones, no clicks yet):
THANDAZA - To Pray
THANDO - Love
BAWO - Father (Call no man Father, which can also be tata like papa, which means BAWO is the variation of Father you are suppose to use on your Heavenly Father, So NiNi (Matthew 23,9).
MSINDISI - Saviour (Messiah)
KHALA - Cry
MINI - Day
KUWE - To you (Kume, from me)
THINA - Us
SONKA - Bread
BANTU - (The) People
