They are many different people who share a related language and some cultural characteristics.
Explanation:
Bantu is a term used to refer to a linguistic stem, that is, it is a language that gave rise to several other languages in the center and south of the African continent. The term ended up being used to refer to the group of 300 to 600 different ethnic groups that inhabit the same area. It is a classification based on linguistic similarity, and therefore the word Bantu does not refer to a people, not even an ethnic group. For this reason, we can say that the Bantu people were many different people who share a related language and some cultural characteristics.
