Speakers of isiZulu, thank you for your help here! -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:07, 27 uMandulo 2017 (UTC)

For the queries above (Cities in...), ZU WP has the pages Umbuso Ohlangeneyo for United Kingdom and IMelika (not "Izifundazwe Ezihlangene zaseMelika") for United States of America. It would be consistent to use identical names also for their categories. @Njabulo19:, do you agree? -- Deborahjay (talk) 18:16, 27 uMandulo 2017 (UTC)

Yes I agree that we need to use identical names. Njabulo19 (talk) 19:12, 27 uMandulo 2017 (UTC)

Further clarifications needed:

• Why the different spelling of the suggested "eYurophu" and the existing IYurobhu and Template:IYurobhu? Would it be correct to always use the spelling of the existing pages?
• If I understand correctly, the suggested "Izinhlokodolobha" means "capital cities" - for simplicity, would it be correct to use "Iziqongo" in these category names, since a "capital" in this context is always understood to be a city? See the capital cities' column heading used in IYurobhu#Amazwe.

I'll watch for replies before creating any new categories with these words. -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:37, 28 uMandulo 2017 (UTC)

• It will be correct to say iYurophu instead of iYurobhu as it is pronounced with a P ihn both English and isiZulu. iYurophu
• The word isiqongo' means the highest place or point (apex) like the mountain, it is the synonym for the word is isicongo. It would be incorrect to use the word Isiqongo in this context (capital). The word Inhlokodolobha is mostly used to mean a capital, it used interchangeably with the word Ikomkhulu which also means capital of a country. Njabulo19 (talk) 17:14, 30 uMandulo 2017 (UTC)

• Looks like this title (which I misguidedly created due to incoming links) is incorrect then. User:Deborahjay: want to rectify it? PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:27, 3 uNhlaba 2019 (UTC)

  Okay, I renamed the page, but I don't know if the grammar of the page content itself is right (probably isn't). PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:32, 3 uNhlaba 2019 (UTC)
