Pedi (also known as Bapedi, Bamaroteng, Marota, Basotho, Northern Sotho – in its broadest sense), has been a cultural/linguistic term – previously used to describe the entire set of people speaking various dialects of the Sotho language who live in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, more recently, the term “Northern Sotho” has replaced “Pedi” to characterise this loose collectivity of groups.
