The term "ζουλού" (Zoulou) refers to the Zulu people, an ethnic group primarily found in South Africa. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, including traditional music, dance, and art. The Zulu language, also called Zulu, is one of the official languages of South Africa and is widely spoken in the KwaZulu-Natal province. Historically, the Zulu were known for their powerful kingdom under the leadership of Shaka Zulu in the early 19th century. The Zulu nation played a significant role in the region's history, particularly during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, which showcased their military prowess and resistance against colonial forces.
