Zulu people
The Zulu ((ズールー語:amaZulu)) are a Bantu ethnic group of Southern Africa and the largest ethnic group in South Africa, with an estimated 10–11 million people living mainly in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Small numbers also live in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique. Their language, Zulu, is a Bantu language; more specifically, part of the Nguni supergroup. == Origins == The Zulu were originally a major clan in what is today Northern KwaZulu-Natal, founded ca. 1709 by Zulu kaNtombela. In the Nguni languages, ''iZulu/iliZulu/liTulu'' means ''heaven'', or ''sky.'' At that time, the area was occupied by many large Nguni communities and clans (also called ''isizwe''=nation, people or ''isibongo''=clan). Nguni communities had migrated down Africa's east coast over centuries, as part of the Bantu migrations probably arriving in what is now South Africa in about the 9th century.
