Some are usually known in English without the class prefix (Swahili instead of Kiswahili, etc.), and some others vary (Setswana or Tswana, Sindebele or Ndebele, etc.). The bare form typically does not occur in the language: in the country of Botswana the people are the Batswana, one person is a Motswana, and the language is Setswana.
Today most linguists see the center of the Bantu expansion, that started about 2000 years before present in eastern Nigeria and Cameroon.[edit]
