Brief overview
The above article talks about izilandelo, which are words used in traditional games that are played by children. The article states that izilandelo are similar and related to imilolozelo (lullabies). The difference, according to DBZ Ntuli (author and academic quoted in the article), is that while imilolozelo are mainly poetic songs sung to children by parents or guardians in attempts put their offspring to sleep, izilandelo are mainly uttered by toddlers and children in games that they play to have fun.
