Abstract

The objective of this paper is to indicate to all practising linguists that the term “Bantu” has become completely unacceptable to Blacks, and, secondly, to initiate the quest for a suitable alternative by suggesting a related term. For the term “Bantu”, I am suggesting the alternative “Kintu”.
