Xhosa is a mix of languages including the Khoisan language which the Xhosan people came into contact with during their migration through Africa. The clicking noise made in Xhosa comes from the Khoisan language as do some words and pronunciations. Xhosa closely sounds like the languages Zulu, Swati, and Ndeble. About 7.1 million people in South Africa speak Xhosa as their first language. Xhosa is one of the eleven official languages of the republic of South Africa. One of the most famous leaders of South Africa Nelson Rohlihlahla Mandela is a Xhosa tribesman.
