The tsotsitaal breakdown by Abba was gold 🏌️♂️
Abba Ayalew Amlak... Bongani iNkosi 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Language is a tool to try assist the spirits to communicate. We're too obsessed with the surface than the depth.

Beautifully put. I was waiting for him to speak there in the beginning, that's why they let him speak last.. they also kinda knew he was gonna shut it down. Living legend this guy.

African spirituality is rich and profound, but there's a growing need to balance this with practical engagement in various global disciplines. While our philosophical and cultural heritage is invaluable, it's crucial to also foster growth in science, mathematics, engineering, commerce, and literature-not just in music and film. Language plays a vital role in how we preserve, create, and share ideas. With over 2,000 languages across Africa, there’s an urgent need to document and archive them. However, we must also embrace modern technology to facilitate better communication and understanding. Developing African-focused bridging languages or creating faster methodologies for translating information to and from our native tongues can enhance our ability to engage with the world. This is the direction I believe we should move towards, and it’s what I am committed to working on.

Are the spirits the ones who told you apartheid was gud? I heard you said it was gud and not a crime

@god can you have this panel on your show and let them discuss how can we preserve what they said here digitally ngoba this is bound to be helpful in the future
"Indigenous language is my spirit trying to reach out to you in communication." - Abba Ayalew Amlak wow! Like that's it, that's truly all there is to. Thank you for that simplified definition. I'll take that with me.

Yoh this episode takes all the cups😭😭we need the full uncut unedited version
Abba Wamanzi never disappoints.
Collectively you were authentic communicators; no ego whatsoever! The learning is sustained!! I salute you all!!
wow! , Abba just reminded me of a movie called Kingdom of the planet of apes. Language evolves , we do not speak as our four -fathers.
Wish more South African would see this! POWERFUL conversation !
Abba Ayalew!!!! SHEEESH!!!
The opening statement about indigenous languages being lost every two weeks deeply resonates with me because I can see this happening within me and my own generation from the 90s. It breaks my heart even more to realize that it is even worse for our children and the coming generations. If this trend continues, the loss rate could extend to a language lost every month in just a few years.
What a panel, WOW 😍🥰. I can't emphasize enough how much I have missed these conversations. Thank you castle milk stout for bringing these conversations back. I watched all seasons back to back. ❤🔥Enkosi kakhulu. My cup is full and my light is back.
This panel is befitting to contribute to this discourse of language 😭😭😭😭😭😭
ABBA opened his mouth and i got super coooooold!!!!!!! Goooseeeebumps!!
To confirm that language truly is spiritual is us being able to understand each other in our different languages because of how similarly our words & expressions were constructed! What a conversation 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is not a complaint, but the way this show is cut frustrates me cause as soon as you follow a train of thought, there’s a cut or ad out of nowhere. Besides that, it’s a powerful platform and topics we need to speak about! 🙏🏾💙

Yhooooooooooooooo what a chat!!! Abba is dropping waaaaay too many gems. I'm shooketh.
Abba forever giving 💎
Abba my mentor❤❤❤
Abba 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing episode. Abba and bab’Myeza dropping gems . 🙏🙏Syabonga
Abba shared interesting views on language. 🔥
Language is mathematics has wave values, and phonetics plays a huge role in the weight of words. Hence we know that through word we create space either for conflict, peace even sacred space. When one keeps quite about issues by not speaking of them that can lead to sickness. Therefore language is spiritual, if kids don't communicate in a native language they can be lost in communicating with ancestors. My great grand dad never knew english i cant go to his grave in lesotho and ke bue sekgowa.🙏
Abba should do a episode on his channel about languages.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Proper mature crowd,no screaming,interrupting,respectful dialogue!
"The Dolulu is the solulu" which one is this one 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣
Within 2 minutes this interesting very powerful. We are Africans ❤
Baba uNdaba was lowkey dropping gems as well . What a lovely gathering, what a lovely podcast in essence.
I love that he said lets preserve the intelligence of the language
Babu Myeza 🙌🏾
Abba teach teach Abba .. those people that you are sitting with are learning from you, ..
This was such a rich episode.
This was an exceptional episode. Thank you Milk Stout. Keep at it 🏆🔥🔥🔥
Yoh loved this.
Yesses what an episode
What a well informed bunch of humans enjoyed every wisdom and knowledge from this converse 👌🏾
I'm here for Lebo Mashile - what a woman! 😍😍
I love the point uBaba uMyeza (I believe that's his name) made about the intelligence of a language. Something I will ponder on, as I take this journey of teaching myself my language, isiNdebele.
Loved loved loved this
Abba Ayalew Amlak....such a collection of knowledge.
yho yho yho yaze yanamandla nantsi i episode. Ndityisiwe, ndahlutha. Camagu.
Abba has spiritual revelations of self and the universe.
Yo, the "Makoti" origin f'd me up!!!!!!🤯
This is probably the best episode so far!!!! The knowledge sharing is intense. 🔥🔥🔥
Love love Lebo so much, haven't seen her in a while!!!
This conversation is moving me! Phew!!!!!!!
Two of my favourite poets in conversation is like a dream. Two of a kind that blew my mind I hold in such high esteem. I've been wrapped in Lebo's ribbon of rhythm since I was a teen. Always admired her from afar as my poetic queen. I've sat watching the river dance tides on Tumi's artistry. Our very own rap lyrical God is a part of art's history. An honourable mention to the rest of the panel. Your contributions to the fabric of our culture are not lost on me.
This was a mature conversation
I absolutely loved this conversation. Gratitude!
Tooo Dope This 1
Wow! Loved the episode!! Can’t wait episode 2 😍
what a conversation!!!
Makoti nkosi yami 🙆🏾♀️😅😓. Stellar conversion! Thank you Milk Stout team ❤
Also, Lebo's kimono 👘 is fire 🔥
Matured panelists, collectively elevated the concepts very well. I learned a lot from this episode and reaffirmed.
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!
This was such an amazing conversation. This was the best panel I seen on this show. I was actually excited to see from the intro and I knew we were in for a ride. And Ta Sbu was also the best one to head it. Siyabulela bantu bakithi
I need more of this Am loving it
This is mind blowing!
danko great teachings ta sbuda 🥳
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
Powerful line up, very insightful conversation. We need this❤❤
I grew up on Lebo and Tumi. Seeing them in one space is a gift from the cosmos.
🔥Bro this was nicely executed, I don’t wannah lie. They all had substance, humble and they showed a willingness to learn from each other to understand the various perspectives each individual holds. Great conversation, Immaculate articulation of the importance of understanding the intelligence within our languages. In conclusion language forms our thoughts, our thoughts form our behaviours, and our behaviours dictates our culture. Indeed language is a tool used to elevate our perceptions on the essence of life to influence our spiritual consciousness. 🔥
I disagree with uBaba uNdaba: Afrikaans wasn't created by Malay Indians in the Cape... Malays arrived later as slaves. Indians were imported as slaves into KZN. Afrikaans was created by the Khoi, San & Xhosa-speaking ppl who traded with ships that passed by in the Cape, en route to the East for spices & silk. Agreed with Stogie that it's the best example on HOW TO formalize an indigenous language.

afrikaans is closer to a dialect of dutch from the 15th century. and even today linguistically speaking it's in the West Germanic sub-group

God my brother, I will never EVER believe that native Africans 'created' a language that is 90+ percent just dutch. Be careful of people who temper with history for whatever reason. I can't help but think that this new FALSE narrative is/ was developed to try make 'IsiVerwoed' palatable to Africans. No Africans 'created' a germanic language! That is bullshit!

I can take the narrative that it was 'influenced' by Africans, but even that influence really is negligible.
this is so important ❤

Preserving African indigenous languages, begins with identification. Africans aren't Black, they're African, and what ever tribal clan specifying further.
