About Southern Sotho for Uyghur speakers

Southern Sotho is written in the Latin alphabet; Uyghur uses Arabic script. Chatting in writing is a good way to get used to a new script, because you can take your time with every message.

Southern Sotho is related to Swahili, Herero, Kongo, Kikuyu.

How the exchange works

  1. Say what you speak and what you're learning. Talkabout shows you people who speak Southern Sotho natively and are learning Uyghur.
  2. Write to someone. Take turns: some messages in Southern Sotho, some in Uyghur, so you both get to practise.
  3. Fix each other's messages. Suggest a correction on any message and your partner sees exactly what changed. You choose how much you want corrected.

Safe by default

Talkabout is for adults only. Photos and contact details unlock only after you've both written to each other, nobody can flood your inbox, and favourites stay private unless you both choose each other.

You can block or report anyone from the chat. Everyone agrees to the community guidelines, and moderators tell you which rule was broken when they act on a report.
