"Swazis" Meaning

The word "Swazis" refers to a people from Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland), a small landlocked country in southern Africa, or more specifically, to the people who speak the Swati language and are members of the Swazi royal family or who have ancestral ties to the kingdom of Eswatini.

The term "Swazi" is also used as an adjective to describe something related to Eswatini or its culture, such as Swazi culture, Swazi language, or Swazi traditional clothing.
