Bapedi are part of the Sotho people found in South Africa. Depending on their dialect, Sotho people are broken down into three groups, namely; Southern Sotho (Sotho), Northern Sotho (Pedi) and Tswana (Batswana). The word, Pedi, therefore refers to both the Pedi tribe, and the language of the Pedi people (Sepedi).
