October 14, 2014Two Recently Released Commercials.  One is the first ever Star Trek fan film from the African continentand appears to mix English with a native African language, which has been identified by a person at the television station as Zulu with a single word in Sesotho.  I consider that, therefore, to be Zulu.  A prior theory was that it was two different South Africans alternatively as a mixture, kasi taal'.  It had been confirmed as not Xhosa or Sesotho. That's the first Star Trek Fan Film in Zulu, or any other native language of sub-Saharan Africa. 

From South Africa:  Vuzu amp -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1_WoFxfh0M (1:30).  Here it is with partial English subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kUnd1_VY2E (1:30) (eMBee, thank you).  It is a mixture of English and Zulu with a single word in Sesotho (identified by a person at the television station which is broadcasting this commercial in South Africa).   Thanks to onedotshort (the name she has asked I use for her here) for calling the television station in South Africa!  Thanks to Bob Trekfan for finding and reporting this film and attempting to identify the language!  Thanks also to onedotshort for her assistance!
