This movie has instilled in the mind of the viewers that the fashion of Africa is not any way lesser to the rest of the world.

The language

IsiXhosa is one of the eleven official languages of South Africa and it is majorly used by the people who live in Eastern and Western Cape provinces of South Africa. In Captain America: Civil War, the same language is used to enhance an emotional scene which involves the conversation between a dying father who is the king and his son who is going to be the next king due to the former’s demise.
