The language that the Tswana (ツワナ Setswana) belongs to Niger Congo family of languages, and is spoken among South African Tswana. The speaker is in Republic of South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia other than the Republic of Botswana. It is written in Roman letters without originally having a letter like most African languages when I write it in the present age. Characteristics of this time include the fortis reading with [t] not [θ] like German in [h] and th to read in ch. In addition, it is a characteristic to be common to South African languages that noun classes are various, but even Tswana is distributed between 19 kinds.

The Se of language name Setswana expresses a language (like Ki of Swahili).
