This section is bilingual, with one page in siSwati and the facing page in English. Part 2 presents traditional stories and proverbs in siSwati and information about traditional medicine, mostly in English. Part 3 is an article in English comparing the two closely related languages, siSwati and Zulu. Part 4 provides specialized vocabulary lists for food and drink, insects and animals, birds, trees, grasses and reeds, traditional dress and ornaments, crafts, and agriculture. Part 5 is a sampling of newspaper stories, with versions in both English and siSwati. A selected bibliography is included. (MSE)
