Zulu Wikipedia

The Zulu Wikipedia is the Zulu-language edition of Wikipedia, a free, open-content encyclopedia. Started in November 2003, it rose to 186 articles as of 13 May 2009, and to 766 on 25 April 2016, making it the 247th largest Wikipedia language edition (down from 221st in the previous date).

It has 11,803 articles as of November 2025 and 58 active registered users.

Although it was the third African-language Wikipedia to reach 100 articles, progress has been slow, and it has been surpassed by numerous other African languages.

As Zulu is mostly mutually intelligible with Xhosa, both of which are Nguni languages, it is possible for articles in the Zulu edition to be easily translated into Xhosa for the Xhosa Wikipedia. Similar trans-wiki efforts have been made for Scandinavian-language editions, such as the Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish through Wikimedia's Skanwiki collaboration tool.

In January 2012, the Zulu Wikipedia was proposed for closing. The proposal was rejected in March 2012.
