  • 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

    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.

'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.

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.

    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

      The majority do and the name usually reflects their state of being or proclivities at the time they were named or their founder.
      For example the name Ptolemy used to describe the region south of Egypt down to Great Zimbabwe and the Cape was written as Agysymba - this is a Phonetic Spelling and we can transcribe it to the correct sound which is
      A-Tchi-Sia-M-Ba which is a Proto-Bantu expression you may recognize some of these sounds 'A as in Ama, Aba', 'Tchi is usually reduced to 'chi'', 'Si', 'A as in Ama/Aba', 'm as in M-uli', 'Ba as in Ba-ntu'
      Habesha which means 'majesty friends of the foremost' is another possible Proto-Bantu expression.

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.

    I agree with you that mu- (class 1) likely is connected to the locative of internality, but to say ba- (class 2) doesn't connote people is rather far fetched .
    The first person plural continuous prefix sa- is not a noun meaning "familiars", it's literally just the prefix equivalent to the pronominal "we are".

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.

    Someone in the comments said that, people of European descent are humans, but not Bantu. Firstly, watch here on UA-cam 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.

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

    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.

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.

    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.

    The problem with this presentation is that it is self righteous and presumptuous particularly in assuming your language is the model of perfection, and not open to other explanations. The word molemo still exists in Setswana but is not the source of the word for God. Modimo comes from the word Dimo which is another form of Temu (Nubian), which has come to be known as Atum, the primordial intelligence. Mo-dimo is one who propagates and represents this force. Thus we have Badimo, a collective word which has come to be degraded relative to Mo-dimo, from Christian influence. Energy/influence arising from that domain is Sedimo. We still have the word Ra as representative of the male energy and Rara as a God force. A son is moRa. Another word for man is mo-nna, which comes from the waters of origin nun or nuna/nna the mother God, of which man/Ra is a representative. In Sotho languages (Tswana/Sotho/Pedi) there is nothing like Matswana or Masotho. Ma - is used in Nguni languages. It may be helpful to look at things more from a holistic rather than a singular perspective. True ka, ba, sa are all dimensions of spirituality but of course with the evolution of language this have come to play other roles in our languages, we cannot take old language as sacrosanct for language grows with man.

      The True African History will humble us all.
      I speak SiLozi too, so don't assume I am ignorant of how Sotho-Tswana and Nguni Languages work.
      I also speak Plateau Tonga which allows me to understand all of you because the Bantu part of your languages came from BaTonga - before they were called BaTonga(People without a King)- they were part of the Nkoya-Hima-Tolwa People(might have left out some people).
      You don't have the alphabet or an alphabet and we do which is why we can explain to you which expression not words are 'Proto-Bantu' and which are 'Nilo-Saharan' -
      -you assume 'modimo' is word like 'apple' but it is a sentence which you have misinterpreted 'mo - means one', 'di means a place of depth', 'mo - again means one' so you are saying 'one place' - not God - you took this expression from the original Proto-Bantu - 'Mulimo/Murimo' which means 'mu - within', 'li - most beautiful sound', 'mo - one' - within the most beautiful sound - this is our Creator - I explain this in another video - we were created by the most beautiful sound which is why music is important to us.
      We can correctly read the Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs which are the source language Maduwi Netchali - I don't think Tswana-Nguni Languages have that expression anymore - we do.
      Matswana is the correct way of defining you as a population not Batswana - you misuse the 'Ba' prefix - using it as a plural in your languages because you didn't have the Proto-Bantu Cultural Custodians to teach you how to correctly speak and use the language which resulted in you speaking a corruption and minimization of the Proto-Bantu Language with Nilo-Saharan admixture.
      That is why you have a similar accent to the Nilo-Saharan People and use the 'ng' sound - that is the Nilo-Saharan ancestry in you - we are being generous by still calling you Bantu - because everything your ancestors did isn't a representation of our Guardians.

      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.

      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.
