The Xhosa people are descended from a clan of the Nguni. Traditionally they were herders and farmers although today they are involved in a wide range of activities and livelihoods.
They live primarily in the Eastern Cape area of South Africa.
The Xhosa culture (and Nguni culture as a whole) has borrowed from
the Khoisan culture and language.The Xhosa people speak a language called "Xhosa"
which is known as a "click" language, having three basic clicks,
borrowed from the Khoisan languages.
