Bantus

/ˈbæn.tuz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of Bantu; multiple members of Bantu peoples or speakers of Bantu languages.

Etymology

Simple English plural of Bantu (though some scholars prefer 'Bantu' as both singular and plural, following the original language pattern).

Kelly Says

Linguistically, 'Bantus' is interesting because some scholars avoid it, preferring just 'Bantu' for plural, which honors the original language structure where 'Bantu' already works as plural.
