Amagama Izinyoni: Zulu Names of Birds lists all the bird species
found in KwaZulu-Natal and surrounds, gives the proposed
standardised Zulu name for each species, and explains the
underlying meaning and how the name came into being. All earlier
names for these birds, even if no longer in current use, have been
recorded here, making this a historical repository of Zulu bird
names as well. This book is the result of the six-year Zulu Bird
Name Project. Between 2013 and 2018, annual workshops, organised
and facilitated by the three authors, brought together a total of
eighteen mother-tongue Zulu-speaking bird experts to research the
names of bird species present in the Zulu-speaking area of South
Africa. At the start of the project, only approximately 40 per cent
of the bird species of this area had species-specific Zulu names;
by the end of the project all 550 species had unique names. The
comprehensive introduction explains the methodology used in the
Zulu bird name workshops, providing a template for linguists and
ornithologists who might wish to do similar bird-naming exercises
in the other African languages of southern Africa. The introduction
also provides some linguistic and onomastic insights into bird
naming generally and Zulu bird names in particular.
