Dciriku language

In Namibia, Angola too, Gciriku is spoken, it's true. Along the Kavango River's flow, 305,000 people know. Click consonants, they make a sound, Like [ǀɛ́ǀˀà], a bed that's found. And [mùǀûkò], a flower so bright, And [kàǀûrù], a tortoise in sight. The Vagciriku, they led the way, From Vamanyo, they came to stay. Speaking Rugciriku, their own tongue, A dialect that was sung. But in Namibia, a change took place, Rumanyo, the name they embrace. Though Gciriku still remains, In literature, its fame sustains. The Mbogedu dialect, now gone, Extinct, its melody withdrawn. But Gciriku lives on, it thrives, A language that forever strives. Random page: EUL-NGL
