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 May 13, 2009, and to 766 on April 25, 2016, making it the 247th largest Wikipedia language edition.

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 collaboration tool.
In January 2012, the Zulu Wikipedia was proposed for closing, a proposal rejected on March 2012.
