What Bantu Really Means

- The expression Bantu was misappropriated and misapplied to everyone found speaking similar languages, without regard to how this happened. This video explains the correct meaning of the expression Bantu, who it really applies to and the difference between ethnic Bantu and Bantu speaking - those who adopted a derivative of the Proto-Bantu Language.

To the people that keep insisting 'Bantu' is plural. Would you refer to your Grandmother or someone you respect as Muntu in a conversation as in 'Muntu U Ya'?🙃Do it in front of her child and see what happens to you.
Or would you address them as 'Bantu Ba Ya'?
This is one person you are talking about so think about it.
I am presenting the true source of the derived Bantu languages. This source currently called TchiTonga is spoken in Zambia, Zimbabwe, maybe Mozambique and South Africa. The people who use the expression 'Mwami' in the Great Lakes Region, originally spoke this language too. Which is the linguistic continuation of the Ancient Egyptian language - I cover this in my other video 'What Ancient Egyptian Really Sounded Like' - I will do a video explaining the research.
The Great Lakes had their own Kingdom but the two seem to have always been connected.
The derived languages spoken by most Bantu Speaking People were created as populations moved eastward or south into ethnic Bantu territory seeking refuge(in most cases), in some cases like the Mutapas - pillaging which is why they are an oversimplified version of the original language.
Still mapping out the order of derivation
I like your video it is misleading those who don't know isintu😂
@@mthimkhulu30 what's misleading.Point the facts which you think/believe needs correcting
In one of Congo Brazzaville language called Lari and Kikongo, the word Bantu is pronounced exactly Bâ-ntu, means people. So the word may have been originated from those languages in central africa not countries in Southern Africa.
@@brazzaville007 Well let's put it this way, the Rwandan Genocide wasn't the first genocide against the owners of the culture and language you all appropriated. You should've caught that when I used the title 'Mwami'.
@@inyenyenzimwami means husband in Buganda culture! A Bantu ethinic group!
In Botswana we don’t have the word matswana. We are called Batswana
My sister I'm from South Africa and I can say that on this video you are far from being right 😅
I believe we must come together to clarify our language.We need a big and continuous meetings
😂 And we will bring the ancient dictionary from the mountains of Haka Manga.
Love your work. Will share with many!
I’m so grateful for this channel ❤#blessings
I'm from South Africa🇿🇦 the Zulu tribe, and we call ourselves "aBantu" meaning "a people" (plural) and (singular) "uMuntu" meaning a person.
That’s the accurate definition, I don’t know what she’s talking about
And in terms of cultural practices, we practice isiNtu (meaning of Ntu). Others use Ambrahamic religion, we use isiNtu. When to perform circumcision, when to slaughter a goat or cow, indzalo lelanga, when to have umcimbi, when a house needs a cleansing, praying for rain, first harvests, libations or ukuphahla utywala besiNtu (millet grain which God provided and is scattered throughout Sub-Saharan Africa) etc. Ntu means of the Sky and was great intercecessor between us and God the creator.
@@82pattycake couldn't have said it better, thank you
Too many expressions of Ntu...as a South African Nguni umntu is a person n abantu is many people. I also don't know what she is talking about as a Xhosa person. Isintu is a term in reference to practicing culture. Indoda yakwaNtu was the first ancestor meaning the first man n not the sky. But like I said there are too many references to this...so many things can be true at the same time from different tribal perspectives
@@karldrogo9765 you explained it very well, Enkosi ndiya bulela
This is an intriguing, but atrociously misleading freestyling on the complex and wide-ranging grammar of Africa's largest language family. For example, I come from Uganda where we speak several ntu languages that belong to three clusters that are related but fairly distinct. In all of them, muntu refers to a person and bantu refers to people.
Thanks for watching. I am presenting the true source of all your languages, and the original meanings of the expressions which have been lost to your derived languages. For most of you this isn't your original language. An oversimplified version was adopted by your ancestors and passed down which is why most of you are confused, you oversimplify the expressions without understanding the spiritual significance of the expressions - they are not words, but sentences. There's also an alphabet, a dictionary and it's not words but sounds. We still speak the original version. I will cover this in another video.
Side Note,
Q: What s The Meaning Of _ŊDEBELE_ ?
@@inyenyenzi it is easy to claim that you speak the original ntu language. But where is your evidence? I would be happy to see or hear it.
I remembered the true meaning of BaNtu meaning those (descendants) of Ntu the first ancestor. Antu is recorded in the Sumerian myths. Other BaNtu languages like the Karanga (Shona) call themselves vanhu meaning those (descendants) of Anu. Anu is also mentioned in the Sumerian myths as well.
@@TOGBE.KOKU.VODU.KETOGLO.ZODANU Ndebele is the Nguni version of the Sotho expression batho ba matebele meaning the descendants of Ntu who carry long shields I.e. the Nguni warriors from various clans.
Great work Positive and Creation Energy to you 👏🏾👏🏾
I just came across your page and I am so fascinated with your page interesting and informative content Keep up the great work. I did subscribe too so hope to see more and learn more ❤
Thank you for watching and subscribing. I will post at least one video every week and hopefully give a an indigenous perspective of what happened and how it happened ❤
This channel is great ❤
Very good video, your voice is also soothing and calming😊
I know...is it AI voice or it's for real?? I don't know....!!
Great work abt (family)! Salute you
Can you direct me to information about Bantu rituals & authentic Bantu spiritual traditions
I'm also waiting for this, it's high time we go back to our ancestral roots
In Namibia, in the bantu-language otjiHerero we say…
mundu (also, omundu), to refer to one person
vandu (also, ovandu), for more than one person
Similarly, in some dialects of another Namibian bantu-language oshiWambo they say…
munhu (also, omunhu), to refer to one person
aanhu (also, ovanhu), for more than one person
Nice. In Gĩkũyũ we say 'mũndũ' for person ..and 'andũ' for people. The 'ũ' being pronounced as we do the English word "owe"
Could you supply me with translations in otjiHerero for:
1. Number 3
2. Side
3. Edge
4. Single
5. Enclosed
6. Open
7. Straight
8.space
How would you translate this sentense
"The least number of straight lines that can enclose a space is 3"
Many thanks
In Kenya, most Bantus use Mundu(for person) Andu (plural of person),
I saw a name :Rukoro in Namibia
And my Grandady name is Rukoro in Rwanda
So all bantus were one but our idiots presidents they keep divide us by borders left by White
Antu is an ancient goddess from Egypt and Sumeria. I think originally the word was Ba Antu. . . Meaning „Those from Antu“ or „Children of Antu“. Check it out.
Lol what a load of misinformation. We Nguni's use the prefix "Aba" for AbaNtu not Bantu which was a slight corruption of the word and "Mu" not "Mo" for Muntu. The first time Europeans came in with the word and the concept of Ubuntu was from the Nguni not BaTswana.
For Nguni is Ubuntu but for Sotho - Tswana is Botho from Motho. Then setho also part .
@@tloutlou2655is tlou a elephant
@@tloutlou2655so botho is person in sotho
@@inyenyenzi lie
Thanks for watching. You use the 'a' sound to emphasize belonging or 'with' as in 'we are with the Bantu', that's what you are saying. Muntu is not a corruption of anything. We, the BaTonga who taught your ancestors your languages as they sort refuge in our Kingdom use 'Bantu', which is why you had to use 'Abantu - we are with the bantu'. We have the Grammar and the Dictionary.
Please share the book or books from which you got this information , I would like to gain more knowledge on this topic.
This is not based on Europeans based books but ourselves...what we see, hear everyday, practice etc..
our minds have a long way to go before they're truly liberated ... i mean i won't say i resonate with everything in the video , but that doesn't take away from the fact that it introduces a new depth into how we should decipher our history using our dialects(which we like to call languages) ...
look at how our ancestors wrote down things in say Sumer , Indus or even KMT , a single word would often be a complete sentence in many cases , to show that the dialects we use today , if not treated like the dialects of our invaders(like the english i'm using here , or french , etc.) , but in our native way , we will find they had far deeper meanings than we could have ever imagined ; and i believe more than anything this video is about creating an awareness to that fact ..
but being that i'm from the landmass known as "south africa" , i am not surprised that so-called south africans here just seem to disagree entirely with it and just want to seem a superior people , when we are all ABANTU , irrespective of dialect(language) , geolocation or culture
I'm Luhya from Kenya an I 100% agree with you...Every single word you mentioned is confirmed in Luhya.
From the word go, you're wrong! You are talking about Bantus as though the different tribes have kept the same language.
First of all i'd like to congratulate you for this interesting video. Hi my name is Pedro and iam from Malanje in north of Angola in ancient kingdom of Matamba. I'd like you to suggest me some african baby boys name. My nation at the Matamba kingdom is Ambundu and my language is kimbundu.
Very interesting....You guys didnt miss the occasion...you just used the name itself "Ambundu"
But lets say, theoretically, all of the non-Bantu start speaking the orignal/proto dialect just like your group, then how would you distinguish between them and you?
If the difference is fundamentally linguistic (and nothing else) then it would be easy to appropriate it and claim to be the so-called original lol
This Was Beautiful.
She is so wrong and so provincial!
@@mwituamweene9850
"Provincial"...That's Funny.
Why Do You Say She's Soo Wrong?
A majority of bantu actually have similar words....and mbantu, mtu, andu means people.
South Africans and East Africans bantu similarity is uncanny...
She has to find the diversion ans similarity, roots of words.
Then she has to find the word for people , among different bantus.
@@mwituamweene9850
Thank You.
11:43 This is such valuable work. Gratitude ☀👑🌕🙏🏾 12:35
I do agree that the word Bantu doesn't mean 'people' it does has a connotation of 'belongingness' e.g. one who belong to a group of people or clan, etc. As a Bantu of South Central Africa (Northern Zambia) my father used to tell me that Bantu doesn't mean 'people' because people of European (White) descent are humans but are not 'Bantu'.
😂🎉😢😮😅
Please go deeper 😂
Grace 🎉 l like your Bantu documentaries because they contain informative data that secular schools don't teach to our society.
I like the part where you link the Bantu to Egyptians. 😂
I'm Luhya and my argument is that all non-Bantu mixed with extra terrestrial beings and maybe Bantu's used that name to signify "we are non mixed" Bacause in Kenya, we have alot of Non-Bantu's groups and we are the only ones who ID as Bantu's and the name has stuck on us alone!! why? and I hear both my parents calling people "Omundu/mundu/Vandu/Avandu?'" why?
Ndebeles, yes , may be called 'Amandebele',aernying that from the time when they carried their big shield and short spears ,going around raiding communities in the 1800s. They were terrible indeed.
That makes sense to me too
Molimo in Lingala means spirit or great spirit
I’m from South Africa 🇿🇦 and I Xhosa and Zulu
I want to ask other bantu speaker does the letter ‘R’ exist in your language coz in Zulu and Xhosa it doesn’t it changes into the letter ‘L’
Example : others say -America
We say: eMelica
I am Plateau Tonga-HiManansa and we use 'l'.
Correction: Amelikha. Ca is for cabanga. Kha is for ikhandlela.
Luhya "L and R" are used interchangebilly, same for "V and B"
@@mthimkhulu30 Yes Luhya "ka" is "KHA."
@@mthimkhulu30no I understand that I was making it more simpler for no-Zulu speaker
Was trying to keep the other letters the same to emphasis the ‘L’ but yeah guys ‘ca’ is wrong spelling
Oh and it’s ‘KA’ not ‘KHA’
You are a star. Very well explained that I a Shona - Ndebele mix can understand it well
Are you a Tswana and a linguist madam?
Thank you for watching. Manansa now called BaTonga. I am Plateau Tonga and Lozi, I suppose got the first and the last iteration of it.
@@inyenyenzi Awesome. Tonga like Peter Ndlovu right near Binga?
Enjoying your channel which I just found today. All the best
No perhaps this is ur understanding. I speak 3 dialects from southern Africa and I confirm that
Muntu = is a person
Bantu = many poeple
Everyone from Uganda 🇺🇬 down to eswatini understands this.
Thanks for watching. Not everyone is Bantu Beni and most of you speak an oversimplified version of the original language likely from appropriation and in some case ugly stuff. I am using the original meanings from the original speakers, which is why I made the distinction 'Bantu Speaking' vs Bantu Beni(True Bantu).
That’s a lie and the proof of your lie is the lie you’re telling here.
@@inyenyenzi from what country or countries today are the "true bantus" in??.....I am very sure I can connect to a person from the country and confirm
Very true. I too am familiar with several languages languages ("dialects"? ouch!)
@konkolashata2750 True Bantu's? Lets st with The Buganda Kingdom in Ugandan which is the largest Bantu tribe.
Xhosa: Umntu= 1 person
Zulu: Umntu=1 person
Xhosa: Abantu= people
Zulu: Abantu= people
So I don't know which language you represent but Bantu means people.
Thank you for watching. The original language that gave you all your languages, Tchi-Tonga. Your languages misinterpreted and oversimplified the correct meanings. 'Abantu' means 'with the bantu' - which is emphasis for a claim - there's a reason for that I will cover in another video. 'Umuntu' - 'u' means 'you' not one like you like to use it - check with 'Saubona' -
Also the Zulu are an interesting study. They dressed and built their houses very differently from any Southern African group - the primary who were stone masons - the Zulu styled their homes like the Galla and even their dress was styled like the Lakuta Sudanese. The theory seems to be that the original Zulu clan was overran by some Galla and that is when it became militant. The Galla were nomadic and destroyed the Benguela Kingdom in Angola. So it stands to reason, the violence was brought it, but we are still investigating who brought them in and why.
This is why you can't teach us our own language.
@@inyenyenzi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The BaTonga are not original Bantu your'll are mixture of different African tribes with the Bantu and you never taught Nguni's anything where are you getting this funny information? We Bantu's brought our language and culture when we migrated here and mixed with you guys.
The Bantus who speak similar languages are the true ones . For example, I’m Bemba from Zambia I went to Tanzania even Swahili has more words similar to my language Bemba. I visited Mombasa there tribes called mijikendas who originated from the Congo Basin but they are in Kenya in Mombasa their language is also similar to Shona and my language only with a different way of pronunciation. They even have names from Zambia they eat the same food as us . Any tribe that speaks this Bantu language that even me from Zambia I can understand is our Brothers-and sisters. Even the Lunganda language in Uganda I can understand most of the words. I met Ugandans here in Qatar I could understand what they were saying I asked them if they where from Malawi because what the lady said was similar to Malawi or Nyanja in Zambia. Also let a Luhya same thing here in Qatar even Kikuyu I can understand a bit of it and Kamba. We are all descended from Ancient Egypt my mum used to say they came from Kola and she is near Congo some of my family lived in Congo. We are all the same people. I have a niece her name is Mumbi from Zambia Mumbi means create or Kabumba , Ukubumba unwana creating a child with soil they have Mumbi in Kikuyu as well.
@@inyenyenzi NO NO NO This shows that you know nothing about the zulu people that's not how they became militant, you simply ignored the zulu and the rest of the bantu tribes history and came up with your own.
@@inyenyenzi This channel should be cancelled.
Bantu means a lot of people. In shona we say munhu in singular term and Vanhu in plural term.
The greatest video I have watched this year so far!!
I would also wish that we can translate trigonometry in our African Languages... I am Gĩkũyũ and I found many parallels when I tried to compare many languages nearby (merũ, baganda,) even distant ones like igbo and shona.. the mathematical resources are too scarce tho' and thank you for your contribution.
Thanks for watching. I will do a video explaining the lexicon and grammar rules of the language and hopefully that can help provide a reference point for other languages.
@@inyenyenzi We are definitely in good hands and your efforts are much appreciated!

Kodwa nge-data lami, ngaze ngalimosha ngalovobe walengane.

You say. Lot of things as fact without any evidence. To learned people it makes you lose credebility. Id suggest you provide some kind of evidence in future. A lot of what you say is very contrary to well established facts by speakers of the language itself. You sound like curious person but just add more research to your videos.
Thanks for watching. The facts are mostly wrong because the people interviewed were not Proto-Bantu as in Plateau Tonga / BaTonga - HiManansa. Who are the builders of Great Zimbabwe and all the stone ruins who where the owners the Kingdom where Matebeleland now sits, their story seems to have been deliberately erased. Most people don't know Mashonaland and Matebeleland were all part of their Kingdom including Mozambique. They tried to tell their story only Emil Holub recorded it that's when they called themselves 'Manansa'. Tonga means those without a King which is why their name changed. I cover some this in 'Mzilikazi Assassinates the Pharaoh'.
Boyyyy the colonizers messed us up mentally..
Thank you for setting us straight.
Please could You translate this sentence (Kamba spoken in Kongo kingdom): Bantu bingi ba yisidi mazono
The moment you use 'Ba', your sentence has to become formal/spiritual. We use the spiritual/formal so we would say
Bantu Banji, Ba Jisi, Mazono
Informal would be:
Muntu/Umuntu Ujisi Mazono
The oversimplified version-
Multitudes(Banji) of us (Bantu) have(Jisi) lovely encounters/meetings/blessings(Mazono)
The accurate spiritual 'deeper' :
Ba(invoke the perfect manifestation of those) ntu(belonging to us)
Ba(invoke the perfect manifestation of that ) nji(which belongs to increase)
BaJisi(invoke the perfect manifestation of the highest form of increase)
Ma(plenty/many) zono(lovely encounters/meetings/blessings) - this is why it was simplified.
In Xhosa the word abantu means the people. Whites classified people in their formulated categories and came up with the term Bantu for a certain group of people excluding other African people such as Koi San who are also part of (abantu in Xhosa) the people. Bantu is an ethnological term to classify a certain category of people as such in the exclusion of other categories of people irrespective of them being Africans or non Africans
White People didn't come up with the word. We use it in Tchi-Tonga which is the source of all your languages. The reason you add the 'a' sound is to emphasize belonging to the core group - 'a bantu' means 'with or belonging to the bantu'. I will do a video on the correct grammar.
Whites concluded that Africans ethnic groups as peoples. Bantus - peoples.
She will never concede how Nguni use the term. But her use of the word is independent of how Nguni's use the term so both can be true at the same time
Great lies, I can debate with you. A language explains to itself.
Lol ba means pluriel in kikongo. Mu means the divine consciousness and Ntu means tree of live. Muntu means the incarnation of the divine in this realm.
And Ma means gift like Ma Ama Wa Ndombi.
Ancient kikongo is found everywhere on the continent and abroad, especially in Asia.
In Haiti, we say Mun when referring to a human or decent human being.
Thanks for watching. The clue to your origin and grasp is in the title of your king who was called 'Mwene'. 'Mwene' loosely translated means 'Friend'. Mwene Mutapa means 'Friend of Thieves'- still working our what 'Kongo' originally means and also the linguistic history of the Kingdom. But Mwene isn't a title held by a True Bantu King but a vassal, they use Mwami for a King and the Tutsi used it in that region.
@@inyenyenzi In Agikuyu the word for friend is Murata, mwene is a word that closely translates to owner. We call God Mwene Nyaga meaning owner of the dazzling brightness. Nyaga has a double meaning referring to the ostrich tail which has splotches of black and white like mount Kenya (called Kiri Nyaga) and also referring to the brightness of the snow.
My question is what does this imply for the true Bantu as you say? Coz we did have a people who lived here prior to the expansion of thagicu cultures (those that comprise the Akamba, Agikuyu, Aembu, Ameru) were the Gumba or Ciana a Maitho.
@@kiritugeorge4684 Even in Luhya "MWENE" means the owner or the possessor. Its used to signify "belonging"

@@inyenyenzi Tutsi stole "Mwami" title from us the real Bantu's. its us Bantu farmers who originally used "Mwami" title in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, Malawi, Western kenya, North west Tanzania for KING ONLY and not a fake paramaunt chief or anything Britons created to delete Mwami. The word "Mwami" comes from "Vwami/Bwami" and you can even go further back to Kitara or Bachwezi when people used to mingle with Gods/Angels(Vi-Ikulu/Aba-Ikulu) in around the Great Lakes to Eastern Kongo and they used "Mwami/Bwami" to signify "LORD" and Mwami King priest royalty title...But Ezana of the Axum or Ethiopians, Luo's, Tutsi snitched on us and ended or stopped our FIRE RITUALS and then STOLE one of THREE main drums, which the Hutu's called "Gihanga" and a fire ritual called "Bahiru" or seating room priests(Abahiru/Vahiru/Vuhiru/Ubuhiru) the seers which Arabs called them "ABAYINZU/BAYINZU/bayizu" and the fierce armies of Tutsi, Lemba, Luo's from North and ships of Baluchis along the Coast of Kenya and Yemen all knew and called the people of "Mwmi the "Bashenzi/Zenji" and were the most important priest known as far as China, india, Europe and Central Asia for medicine and priest work/Diviners...But the Tutsi, Luo's and Ethiopians snitched on Shenzi/Vaami people by inviting Portuguese/Christians to come and delete their 3 ALTARS/3 BIG DRUMS and help Ethiopia or King Priest take over power while fighting Turks-Ottomans who were moving deep South to Sofala and into Uganda-Congo(Tipu-Tipu)..!! And as soon as the three Altars were done with, Mzungu and Arabs were able to step inside the soil of Africa by 1400s for the first time ever-ever-ever in history..creating roads named after them like Sultan-Hamud for fetching Bantu slvs...But prior to1390, No ARAB or Mzungu could venture deep into Africa!! iTS THE MOSQUITOES, LIONS AND SNAKES THAT FOUGHT THEM!!
The Buganda Kingdom goes back 3000 years. South Africans are not the only Bantu. Murimo means work in Runyankore an mulimo is work in Luganda

You cannot take a small groupe and generalize. The prefixe MU becomes BA in plural and the other prefixe MA is used for uncountable quantity. MA-ayi for water MA-kole strength. MOLIMO means spirit or soul in the Congo
Zizibuyazizigebalabogo! I really don't know what I write although it sounds nice!
Mxm...this is so distorted... interesting but very misleading. There's a lot to unearth from the topic though.
Sa refers to coming forth... sometimes interchanged with ZA. Example ukuza kwamaza olwandle refers to the continuous coming forth of the ocean waves. As such waves in isiXhosa are called amaZA...the comers...so to speak.
Ukuza kwemini entsha...kukusa. that is to say...the coming of a new day is uku-sa...that the coming forth of the sunlight.
It applies the same way to construct the word for baby...u-sa-na. "na" being the diminutive part ...Sa being the offspring that brings forth the next generation. Even the hieroglyphics point to this...where Sa refers to offspring...son Sa... daughter sat.
Now, abantu are people and they speak not Zulu or Xhosa or Tswana but rather they speak isiNtu...much like Thok Naath is the People's Language for the people referred to as Nuer.
Okay so informative thank you. So according to what you’re saying as a Pedi/Zulu person, I am not true Bantu?
You have Bantu ancestors who inhabited that region as well as San and probably some Galla or 'Zanj' admixture - this is based on Zulu dress, buildings and the military culture which points to a Galla admixture. We still need to figure out how, when and why they and the Sotho-Tswana languages + people were formed which resulted in the current cultures. Everyone's story deserves to be accurately told.
Interesting, thank you.
When you say isolated what do you mean
To my understanding Ba-Ntu means Those belonging to this ancestor called Ntu not everyone will be classified as that of Ntu
Sorry mama, but you did not get it quite right on the 'Ba' meaning. The 'Ba' does denote plurality. I am also Tonga from Zambia, and 'Ba' can denote pluraity or respect/formality; it fits on both contexts. Other languages use 'aba/a/wa'. Note also that in the second person we would say 'Mulibuti' ( how are you) - the 'Mu' in this case fits in the singular to refer to an older person, or in the plural when refering to many (even young) people. On whether Bantu refers to people in general, or the Bantu people alone, may be debated.
Basa, in the Plateau(Gonde) Ku Hulumende - it doesn’t mean people - it never has because we don't speak the simplified dialect that you speak. Ndisuwe Bantanga, bapati benu, balianyika yonse. Ndisuwe tchilongwe tchabahikale beni beni. If you want to have a deeper understanding, visit my kofi page, link in the description box.
The Valley and Plateau(Gonde) speak different dialects. If you’re from the Plateau Ku Hulumende, we speak the old spiritual dialect and know the alphabet.
But those from the Valley and elsewhere speak the Shona, simplified versions and don't even know there is an alphabet.
That’s why I made the distinction because not all Tongas speak the same dialect, the valley speak the Shona-inspired dialect which they often mix with Ndebele and Nyanja at this point.

So what does Ubuntu mean, if n means belonging and tu means we?
Strictly Speaking
u - 'one who is of'
bu - strength/energy
n - belonging to
tu - we/us
'One who is of strength/energy belonging to us'
@inyenyenzi If one is not of strength and they are weak, does that means they are not in line with Ubuntu?
Almost like they do not contribute at all or they affect negatively the community.
What should be done to the individual who shows weakness?
@inyenyenzi and when you say one who is of strength belonging to us.
This "strength" is it morality? Like the right way to do things, a competent person?
Why are you using Egyptian images?

Someone in the comments said that, people of European descent are humans, but not Bantu. Firstly, watch here on CZcams a video by Danny Vendramini titled, Neanderthal, profile of a super predator. This will open your eyes to know who is a HUMAN and who is a HYBRID. Bantu doesn't mean people, it means HUMANS. People are mainly those who walk upright on two legs, being humans or share some DNA with HUMANS. An example is, many Bantus would say that, they saw 5 people, consisting of 3 Bantus (HUMANS) and 2 others (possibly describing them as Europeans or Arabs or of "mixed race" etc). These 2 other people are NEVER described as Bantus (HUMANS). European languages don't make this distinction, most probably because they are daily masquerading themselves as humans when they are not. Interestingly, all of the hybrid people also have some DNA said to be "of UNKNOWN ORIGIN or of UNASSIGNED ORIGIN", terms probably used to hide the DNA from the FALLEN ANGELS spoken of in Genesis 6:4. These hybrids are a new species, a new variety from the original first generation of hybrids known in the Bible as the Nephilim, which was followed by another group with elongated skulls found in Paracas in Peru. All of them have the same DNA that traces back to the Caucuses mountains. Look at your map to see that, the Caucuses mountains are not far from Mount Hermon the landing place of the FALLEN ANGELS where they took an oath binding themselves together to commit this abomination, the likes of Azzazel, Samjaza and other Fallen Angels. These truths have been hidden from us for centuries, including the fact that we are Hebrew Israelites (Negroes and Bantus (haplotype e1b1a (biological and genetic descendants of Jacob/Israel))). The remains of ancient Israelites that lived in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas of Judea as far back as 400BC to 800BC, were excavated and samples were taken for DNA testing and analysis. The results are that, they are of haplotype e1b1a, the same haplotype e1b1a as that of the Negroes and the Bantus, meaning that, the ancient Israelites, the Negroes and the Bantus, are all biological and genetic descendants of Jacob, also meaning that, the ancient Israelites were black like the Negroes and the Bantus. Bantus are humans, and that's why you can't call any other person or people Bantu/Bantus if they are NOT HUMANS. HYBRIDS ARE NOT HUMANS. Praise be to our Heavenly Father Yahuah The Most High Elohim of Israel, the Elohim of our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, our Elohim. Shalom.
First off, I do believe without a doubt that the fallen angels mixing with humans is a myth. Genesis is God's record thus it must be spiritually and prophetically discerned. The term sons of God in more in reference to man or Adam created in the image of God. No angel was ever created in the image of God -> a living and breathing soul.
Next time get your facts out of a biblical reference, it would make more sense
@@thelastshallbefirst6531 Can you explain the "sons of God" mentioned in Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7? Shalom.
@@jhujhuvempa8028 you sound like you haven't read the books of Jasher, Enoch, Jubilees and other books that the descendants of the FALLEN ANGELS tried to destroy, probably trying to hide the truth. They even tried to promote the theory of evolution, ignore the occurrence of the great floods of Noah, invent "links of apes turning into humans", and many other attempts to conceal the truth. It is a given FACT that they have some DNA said to be "of UNKNOWN ORIGIN or of UNASSIGNED ORIGIN". In this day and age where they claim to know the origins of everything in the universe, they have no clue where this DNA they carry comes from? Really? And they expect us to swallow that bait, hook and sinker? They also know that the Neanderthals were apes and were depicted as such RIGHT UP UNTIL THEY DISCOVERED THAT THEY HAVE SOME DNA FROM THESE "dimwitted brutes", as used call them, and then the narrative changed overnight to the Neanderthals being "ancient humans" that appreciated art, buried their dead and even made some jewelry. Of course they will have their way because they own and control the media that MUST publish whatever they want to be published. The truth remains just that, told or untold, it never changes. Shalom.
My opinion is African languages is more of an expression than grammar accuracy. The tone/sound is what we recognise. E.g. A Ugandan and a Zimbabwean can greet each other in turn even if we don't speak same language. Contex will determine the meaning. Gwara = iron/coward/path/solution 🤷
I stand to correct you as a Sotho-Tswana speaker.
Mo ba mo me le ma se di n di bo ho. This is the Sotho Tswana grammatical structure.
Mo is singular (person) Ba is plural (person). Mo is singular (object) me is plural (object) same with le, ma, se di n di bo ho(all objects)
Thanks for watching. This is why I stated Sotho-Tswana are far removed from the original language and therefore have had the original true meanings misconstrued in addition to the click admixture - that double consonant. I speak siLozi too.
Nothing like that😂
Very educational but the video elaborates on what Bantu doesn't mean so the topic lacks precision. Anyways heres what Bantu means. You got the "Ba" absolutely right, i couldn't have said it better myself. The Ba for the Nguni is the biblical equivalent of "EL"... it roughly translates to "descendants of a god". This is where you get "AngEL" from... Michael, Gabrielle, Uriel, Isreal, etc (Israel = children of Isis and Ra). The "Ntu" is the Annunaki Queen Goddesses from whom we are descended. Her consort is Anu. Their offsprings are Innana, Enlil, Enki, and us. The Zulu word "Ningizimu" comes from "Ningishzida" an annunaki priest whom the Egyptians called Tewute (Thoth). Zulu means heaven/sky... which means the Zulus are people who came from heaven (the Skywalkers). This is what Ba-Ntu means, descendants of Ntu. There's plenty kingdoms in the universe and we identify as Bantu to separate us from the Neanderthals (Europeans) and Mongoloid (Asians). Identification is genetic not geographic.
Thanks for watching. This would apply to the descendants of the Galla/Zanj who seem to have formed part of a population that now form the Nguni people. This is evident in the dress style, zulu homes and militancy which are like the Galla. The Zanj were targeted and enslaved in modern day Iraq which is where they'd have adopted these beliefs.
Nguni culture is a mix of Bantu and Galla/Zanj plus San so there is a blend so its important to distinguish the three.
Bantu have our own guardians not gods and the Annunaki aren't it.
@inyenyenzi thanks for reading. The human being is 3.1 billion years old, that's just on this planet. We have mixed with many species over that time. You cannot derive identity from culture. Culture is nothing but behavior which changes over time. Your identity is genetic no behavioral. It's not what you dress, it's who you see when you are in the realm of dreams. This doesn't take away any truth your video but it is purely academic not spiritual... we are spirits not academics. You are not wrong but there's just more to it than attire and dialect... did you know we were once naked and telepathic? We did not dress nor speak. The Africans ARE the Annunaki... ask the Dogons and I've already elaborated on the Zulus
In your books or in your head😢😢😢??
Bantu in Ugandan languages means people and muntu is one person or directly translated as "within Ntu"...Mwami is husband or Mr. in Ugandan Bantu languages
It should be Yuhi/Uhi which is Mr. or Father of and your language is a derived language which means it is very simplified.

Van you please tell what language all these Fake bantu people where speaking before they hijacked ang violeted your language?
ba= means belonging
ntu is our forefathers of all bantu. we trace our self to him and he was a Hebrew isrealite, we are hebrew.
ANDU means PEOPLE, you are explaining the much you understand, but BANTU is wide biggest group of peoples ever
I believe that expression is primarily used by the people who call God 'Mulungu' or have that expression. These are the Bantu Speaking Groups not Ethnic Bantu(Bantu Beni or owners of the language). And everyone has their history which is why I am doing this, to help figure out the chronologies.
This video didn't touch on the East Africa Bantus
Antu many people.muntu one person . meru bribe in Kenya bantu.
Nobody knows what this woman is talking about 👀

Another lost slightly one
Where exactly do you find your info or are you a first hand researcher ?
I don't understand why you are so obsessed with connecting "Bantu " people with ancient Egypt .
I don't believe the Bantu from Central Africa pillaged, destroyed or colonised any land(no proof of this ever occuring).
Is having pyramids and stone temples a sign of being civilised?
Namor/Menes the first king of Egypt was violent and so were many other ancient Egyptian rulers so what do you have to say about that?
I don't understand why you are confiscating the achievements of the Shona people and claiming ancient Egyptians did it ?
It seems as if anything worthy to talk about south of the Sahara was created by ancient Egyptians because the other "Bantu" were too inferior to have ever been responsible for such splendour.
I just think you are no different from the colonialists who made us(Africans) slaughter one another.
Go to The King's Monologue(CZcams channel)for the true history of melanated beings.
Understanding the real history of Africa is important to understanding why things are the way they are. Many of you won't like it but it may help you explain why things are the way they are on your end.
Too many people were unalived and property lost. I am telling their stories.
Shona means destroyers, we named them, that's our language. They invaded our Kingdom and sold out to the Arabs and Portuguese, while selling a lot of people, claiming it was theirs and lying about the history.
Our ancestors were systematically hunted and unalived by the Matebele, anyone who talked about the genocide on what later became Matebeleland was unalived by Mzilikazi working with Robert Moffat. Mzilikazi is buried in one of our crypts. After mutilating our King's body. Our King was also a husband, father, brother, son, whose children had to hide so they would not be unalived by Mzilikazi. Women were systematically abducted and r#ped.
Then they treasure hunted and stole all that was left behind.
We aren't upset, we are just holding up a mirror, some things have to change.
Blame the colonists all you want but a boat with cracks will always let water in. Many among you are the cracks.
The question is why are you so offended about the True Bantu being descended from the Ancient Egyptians? Relics found in Southern Africa where taken to the Ancient Egyptian Hall at the British Museum, there's linguistic continuity.
It makes sense to us, for better or worse.
We've always known this is our history, our origin story says we came from the river now called the Nile. Heck we have a Jackal Headed Guardian Spirit who resettles us. We are just being public about it now because we are done protecting and suffering for people who turn around and unalive us and sellout.
At least this generation is done being quiet about it and suffering through the discrimination.
Check on how bad the BaTonga in Zimbabwe have it from the Shona and Ndebele. The Genocide Against the Tutsi wasn't the first. There are many whose stories, civilizations almost disappeared and replaced with this narrative that Africans were only wearing animal skins, unaliving each other, couldn't build shelter to save their lives and didn't have industries or organized communities. Which is used as justification to take our resources and break our communities into labor camps.
You might have been slow to see this, but not us.
This isn't new to us, we've always known, we are just telling you.
You have your stories, we respect them, this is ours return the courtesy.
Interesting but too difficult to understand.
All not true.... BA-NTU are people who once lived in the great Nile river during the reign of Atlantis... They lived the best time and had their progenitor (Gods)... One of their Gods was NTU/MUNTU also known as RA.. today this god is known as Yahweh or Enkhi in Summeria.. the word MUNTU also is similar to the MAUT meaning soul in semetic language.. bantu languages are similar and Bantu ppl are the original ancient Israelites.. and israel they called it ISOLELE and called NTU God "Taata Nzambe/yahweh
True Bantu are NOT Bene Israel( Friends of Israel - Bene means Friends not Sons they got that wrong) Evidence doesn't support your theory. Also, what I have here isn't theory, it's fact based on being a native speaker of the original Bantu Language which gave everyone else their versions and also being part of the culture. We True Bantu - Bantu Beni are NOT Israelites. We have our own Ba Ila(Elohims) who we can still summon BTW, and Yahweh isn't one of them.
Bantu =humain
This whole video is a lie. You can tell she doesn't even know the language or it's people. It's amazing how complete strangers want to tell us what our own language means... I wouldnt bother
Why are you lying??
As a South African I can confirm that you are lying
You were raided by the Galla or someone and became Nguni at some point, we will get to it. Which is likely why you are called Nguni which means 'Who is that?' or 'stranger' the original Bantu-Tonga population was subjugated by Galla invaders(most likely) who were very disrespectful to them, but they had to learn the language and so they 'upgraded it' to be extremely disrespectful to the original speakers which is why you use 'U' so much or 'Wena'. You speak without respect, that is bullying tactic invaders use. Language tells us alot about people and their conditions. I will explain it in another video. Please remember to subscribe.
Misleading
Please stop misleading our people ! You are terribly limited in your knowledge of the bantu immigration
You voice it is so weak as if you are passing out😮. Why? is somebody forcing you to do this!!!?😳
😂No, just healing from anemia, so talking for too long is exhausting and I ran out of breath❤
Bantu are people who carry haplogroup E1b1a. Confirming that it's an ethnic group.
This is a completely erroneous assumption, please do not repeat this lol
@@MrUgandaUK So, you're just gonna deny science? People take life sentence everyday because of DNA. Millions of people are either cleared for forced to pay child support every year because of DNA. What makes you think you can deny something that part of our daily life? If you deny DNA, then what do you have for us as replacement, genius?
@@mightye2142 do you know how old E1B1A is, how far back the common ancestor is, the many subclades, the fact that there are way more groups beyond 'Bantu' who carry E1B1A? It is simple to disprove your notion by finding at least just one non-Bantu ethnic group who have a prevalence of E1B1A amongst them.
E1B1A is not an ethnic marker.
Someone could quite literally be 100% European (white and ethnically) on a DNA test but have E1B1A or E1B1B.
Ba=father/God
N’=of
Ntu =people/person
People/person of God
Your whole research is based on South Africa (Malawi,Zambia Zimbabwe Zulu nation Tswana Sotho and etc)
