However, there are several synonyms that can be used to refer to this language group, including Bantu, Benue-Congo, and Niger-Congo. Bantu is perhaps the most common synonym used when referring to Bantoid languages. The term Benue-Congo derives from the names of two rivers in Africa where several Bantoid languages are spoken.
