Batlokoa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Batlokoa is one of the three main Basotho tribes/clans who speak Sesotho, the other two being Bakoena and Bataung.
This tribal name occurs in all the three South African Sotho languages i.e. Sesotho, Setswana and Northern Sotho. Each of the tribes has no known relationship to the next and the names occur in different spelling variants. The Setswana variant is spelt Batlôkwa and its pronunciation is the same as the Sesotho one, while the Northern Sotho variant is spelt Batlokwa pronounced 'ba-dwogwa' by the speakers.
The Batlokoa [Basotho ] Tribe is based in the former homeland of Qwaqwa.
