(Isi)Zulu...
"The Zulus number about 3 million in Zululand and
other parts
of northern Natal, Republic of South
Africa. Like many other
South African Bantu groups, many Zulus
are leaving the tribal
reservations to seek work in the mines and cities. During the
early 19th century the Zulus became exceedingly powerful under
Chaka, a leader whose successors embroiled the Zulus in hostili-
ties in the 1830’s with the Boer settlers, and in the 1870’s
with
the British. Not until the beginning of the 20th century did
peace settle upon Zululand.
Zulu is a Bantu tongue, related to
IsiXhosa and
IsiSwasi." --1000 Tongues, 1972

**File: Zulu Critical Text History
"Mies. turned Zulu into a written language for
the
purpose of Bible translation. The first translator,
Bishop
Colenso, stated that the experience led him to deny the
inspiration of Scripture and to embrace modernism.
In 1883, a Zulu Bible was released. The
translation effort was
led by William C. Wilcox. He began the project in 1845. At
the time of the release, very few Zulus could read.
The original edition of 1883 was at least primarily Traditional
Text. " --PS [Info only]

"formal-equivalent translations of the Bible were
made in...
Zulu (American Zulu
Mission [ABS]) 1883; Revised 1893 (still in print); new translation 1924

(Natal My. Confe-
rence [BFBS]) 1959."
