(Se)Sotho...
"Sotho, or Suto, is spoken by nearly 3
million people, including
most of the 880,000 inhabitants of Lesotho (until 1966, Basuto-
land), and many Western and Southern
Sotho in the sur-
rounding Republic of South
Africa. Northern Sotho is
excluded
from these figures. The original Bushman inhabitants of this
region have been supplanted. SeSotho is a Bantu tongue
related to SeTswana."--1000
