Sample text in Tsonga (Lord’s Prayer)

Tata wa hina la nge tilweni,.
vito ra wena a ri hlawuleke;.
a ku te ku fuma ka wena;.
ku rhandza ka wena a ku endliwe.
misaveni, tanihi loko ku endliwa tilweni.
u hi nyika namuntlha vuswa bya hina.
bya siku rin’wana ni rin’wana;.
u hi rivalela swidyoho swa hina,.
tanihi loko na hina hi rivalela lava hi dyohelaka;.

[hikuva ku fuma, ni matimba, no ku twala i swa wena.
hi masiku ni masiku. Amen]
