Interesting Facts
- Xhosa has 15 click sounds, borrowed from the khoi-khoi and san languages of the South Africa.
- The same sequence of consonants and vowels can have different meaning when said with different tones, so Xhosa is tonal.

- You should learn thai language with native speakers and not with books or recorders, since speaking and writing in thai are not the same.
