==Etymology==
Piri piri is the Swahili word for 'pepper pepper'.〔http://www.nandos.co.uk/story/index.html〕 Other Romanizations include ''pili pili'' in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or ''peri peri'' in Malawi, deriving from the various pronunciations of the word in parts of Bantu languages-speaking Africa. ''Piri piri'' is the spelling of the name as used in the Portuguese language, namely in the Portuguese-speaking Mozambican community.〔
The ''Oxford Dictionary of English'' records "piri-piri" as a foreign word meaning "a very hot sauce made with red chilli peppers" and giving its origin as the Ronga language of southern Mozambique word for "pepper".〔"piri-piri noun", Angus Stevenson (ed.), ''Oxford Dictionary of English''. (Oxford University Press, 2010, Oxford Reference Online) accessed 24 February 2012.〕
