English term or phrase: Laudatory poetry, Sotho
comes under: South African literature, Sotho literature, and Sotho poetry.
I know that the word sotho means : إحدى لغات البانتو(السوثو) .
What I need to know is that how do I combine this with the words Laudatory poetry?
Or shall I just say : شعر المديح بلغة السوثو؟
Any suggestions?

Will appreciate your help everyone..
Much obliged...

الشعر التمجيدي بلغة السوثو، جنوب أفريقيا


Explanation:
I would think this to be more appropriate and broader than just مديحي Arabic poetry in the Pre-Islamic era was this kind of poetry, where poets exulted thier tribes. Laudatory is also translated as suggested here in Ectaco (and مديحي also) and the Family 2 Program Office Dictionary.
