Phuthi (Síphùthì) is a Nguni Bantu language spoken in southern Lesotho and areas in South Africa adjacent to the same border. The closest substantial living relative of Phuthi is Swati (or Siswati), spoken in Eswatini and the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Although there is no contemporary sociocultural or political contact, Phuthi is linguistically part of a historic dialect continuum with Swati. Phuthi is heavily influenced by the surrounding Sesotho and Xhosa languages, but retains a distinct core of lexicon and grammar not found in either Xhosa or Sesotho, and found only partly in Swati to the north.

  • Phuthi (auch si-Phuthi, Sesotho: Sephuthi) ist eine Sprache, die im Süden Lesothos und angrenzenden Gebieten Südafrikas von den Phuthi gesprochen wird. Phuthi gehört zu den Nguni-Sprachen. Es ähnelt am meisten dem in Eswatini gesprochene Siswati, enthält aber aufgrund der engen Nachbarschaft der Phuthi zu den Basotho auch Elemente der Sotho-Tswana-Sprachen. Rund 20.000 Menschen sprechen Phuthi. Die Sprache gilt als vom Aussterben bedroht. In Südafrika ist sie offiziell anerkannt, jedoch keine Amtssprache. In Lesotho ist sie nicht anerkannt. (de)
