7. LESOTHO TRANSLATES ROUGHLY INTO THE LAND
OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPEAK SESOTHO
 The sound system of Sotho is unusual in many
respects. It has ejective consonants, click
consonants, a uvular trill, a relatively large number
of affricate consonants, no prenasalised
consonants, and a rare form of vowel-height
(alternatively, advanced tongue root) harmony.

8. LESOTHO HOLDS ONE OF THE HIGHEST LITERACY RATES
IN AFRICA,[33] IN PART BECAUSE LESOTHO INVESTS
OVER 12% OF ITS GDP IN EDUCATION.[35] UNLIKE IN
MOST OTHER COUNTRIES, IN LESOTHO FEMALE LITERACY
(94.5%) EXCEEDS MALE LITERACY.
.
Despite their literacy, Lesotho's residents struggle for access to vital
services, such as healthcare, travel, and educational resources, as,
according to the International Telecommunication Union, only 3.4% of the
population use the Internet.
