Herero (otjiHerero)
Herero is a Bantu language with around 133,000 speakers, who are
known as Ovaherero, in parts of Namibia and Bostwana. It’s
closely related to Himba and Tjimba.
Since the 1960s, efforts have been made to standardise the spelling
of Herero and other Bantu languages.

In the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was formless

hovering over the water.
