Category talk:Ababhali besiZulu

Zulu[Hlela umthombo]

To connect this category to its Wikidata item, does it mean:

writers who are Zulu people (AmaZulu-?) - to belong in the higher category Writers by nationality
writers in the Zulu language (IsiZulu) - to belong in the higher category Writers by language

Whichever one this category isn't - please add that name here. AND if this category needs a clearer name, what would that be? It will need a Move. -- Deborahjay (talk) 17:41, 12 uLwezi 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other categories needed[Hlela umthombo]

Ababhali besi ... = writers in/of [name of language]
Ababhali base ... = writers in/of [name of country]
Ababhali ? ... = writers by language - see w:Category:Writers by language
