Allow me to clarify if I can. There are, of course, people who
speak Bantu languages. The point I was trying to make is that there
is no single group out there who call themselves Bantu, except
perhaps as the term came to be used in South Africa, but I think
that's another story. Correct me if I'm wrong.
