"Semi-Bantu" refers to a group of languages and cultures that exhibit characteristics of both Bantu and non-Bantu influences. These languages are primarily spoken in regions of Central Africa and often share linguistic features with traditional Bantu languages while also incorporating elements from neighboring non-Bantu languages. The term can also describe communities that have adopted certain Bantu cultural practices while maintaining distinct identities. This blending can be seen in aspects such as social organization, agricultural practices, and local traditions, reflecting a rich tapestry of cultural exchange in the region.
