From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tsvarakadenga (/tsvɑːrɑːkɑːɗɛŋˈɡɑː/) is an adjective which means 'cute' or 'babe' or 'fine gal' in chiShona.

Anyways, hello or mhoroi as I would say in Shona. Tsvarakadenga is my username on Wikipedia it's not my real name but it's a word I really like. I chose it because I just really like saying it. The 'tsv' is a whistled consonant and the 'd' is an implosive consonant, so it's really fun to say.

Moving forward, I became a Wiki user on the 12 May 2021 after I read an article about my language and how there are not a lot of Wikipedia pages in my language. I also want to contribute by sharing things about my culture and country via Wikipedia so that it's easy to access for those who want to access it. I am a fluent Standard Shona (S.S.) speaker, my mother tongue is chiZezuru. I also understand chiKaranga, chiNdau, chiManyika and chiKorekore all of which are considered 'dialects' of Shona but also considered languages of their own by some depending on who you ask. I see them as separate languages spoken by different Shona tribes, sort of like how Nguni languages are spoken by Nguni tribes.
