uMgungundlovu

[Qwertqwert]

That's the name of the 2nd city of the Zulus (I had random leader set), curious, why is the first letter lowercase, the 2nd uppercased, and how is that pronounced?

Like it's spelt?

That's nothing. Watch this.

I wonder if that's correct. I know Kiswahili uses an "M" prefix on certain words, usually animal names. It's usually the M that's lower case, i.e. mBogo, but I've seen it spelled with the M upper case if you're not really talking about the animal but something named after it (i.e. the Mbogo tribe).

You can easily confirm that the name is in fact correct by Google .

It is correct. The lower case u is a fairly common prefix, actually, typically denoting singular.

It became capitol after the assassination of Shaka, but was burnt to the ground shortly after to prevent it from being looted. It's currently a district in Zululand as well.

(em gun Jun O vu) is my best suggestion as to how to pronounce, though I am still learning and by no means an expert.

Best translation I could give is "home of the elephant" or something close to that.

Zulu pronunciation is damn near impossible, I gave up on it. It's actually true you know, the Zulu language has clicks. And not just one, but three different kinds The meaning of a word might change depending on what type of click you use Any c, q or x in Zulu words is a click (and each is a different kind), so good luck pronouncing Eziqwaqweni, which is also on the Zulu city list

uMgungundlovu should be a relatively easy word to pronounce though, except for the 'dl' part, which sounds a bit like the Welsh 'll' but slightly different (don't ask me how, I can't pronounce the Welsh version either). My closest approximation would be "oom-goong-oon-llovoo". But like UnO, I'm by no means an expert...
