===Standard vs Urban Zulu===
[[standard language|Standard]] Zulu as it is taught in schools, also called "deep Zulu" (''isiZulu esijulile''), differs in various respects from the language spoken by people living in cities (Urban Zulu, ''isiZulu sasedolobheni''). Standard Zulu tends to be [[Linguistic purism|purist]], using derivations from Zulu words for new concepts, whereas speakers of Urban Zulu use [[loan words]] abundantly, mainly from English. For example: 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Standard Zulu
! Urban Zulu
! English
|-
| ''umakhalekhukhwini''
| ''iselula''
| mobile(cellular) phone
|-
| ''Ngiyezwa''
| ''Ngiya-andastenda''
| I understand
|}
This situation has led to problems in education because standard Zulu is often not understood by young people.<ref>{{cite book|last=Magagula|first=Constance Samukelisiwe|title=Standard Versus Non-standard IsiZulu: A Comparative Study Between Urban and Rural Learners' Performance and Attitude|year=2009|publisher=University of KwaZulu-Natal|location=Durban}}</ref>
