User:Smashhoof/Zulu Verb Tone

Below are links to Zulu verb inflection tables with tone. I used the sources listed below as well as my own elicitation. This is a work in progress, and I'll keep a list of my notes on this page. When this is complete, I will work on updating the Zulu verb inflection module to include tone, but I wanted to put this data here for others to see. It is possible that there are mistakes at this stage, but I will cross-reference with my own elicitation in the near future.
