''IsiNgqumo'', or ''IsiGqumo'', (literally "decisions" in the language itself) is an argot used by the homosexuals of South Africa and Zimbabwe who speak Bantu languages, as opposed to Gayle, a language used by the homosexuals of South Africa who speak Germanic languages. ''IsiNgqumo'' developed during the 1980s.〔 (see also (original source archived here ))〕 Unlike Gayle ''isiNgqumo'' has not been thoroughly researched or documented, so figures on numbers of speakers are nonexistent. ''IsiNgqumo'' is a Nguni language and seems to have derived from Zulu. ''IsiNgqumo'' is often considered a Western invention by indigenous Zimbabweans but it was actually a creation of indigenous homosexuals, an only recently self-aware group.〔 ==Sample== Although the following sample conversation may be slightly obscene, it is a good representative of ''isiNgqumo''s use as most of its vocabulary has some connection to sex or gay men. ''IsiNgqumo'': :"''Isiphukwana sake, kuyavuswa na?''" :"''Maye''" :"''Injini!''" :"''Kuncishiwe''" (or) "''kuyapholwa''" Zulu translation (to show difference): :"''Ubolo sake, kuyakhulu na?''" :"''Yebo''" :"''Imbuqo!''" :"''Kuyancane''" English (literal translation): :"His little stick, has it awoken?" :"Yes" :"Lie!" :"It's not talented" (or) "it makes one cold" English translation: :"His penis, is it big?" :"Yes" :"Lie!" :"It's small" (both terms mean the same thing, and are very derogatory) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IsiNgqumo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
