Tsotsitaals are a variety of mixed languages mainly spoken in the townships of Gauteng province, such as Soweto, but also in other agglomerations all over South Africa. Tsotsi is a Sesotho slang word for a thug or robber (possibly from the verb ho tsotsa to sharpen — whose meaning has been modified in modern times to include to con; or from the tsetse fly, as the language was first known as Flytaal, although flaai also means cool or street smart) and taal is the Afrikaans word for language. A tsotsitaal is built over the grammar of one or several languages, in which terms from other languages or specific terms created by the community of speakers are added. It is a permanent work of language-mix, language-switch, and terms-coining.
