Editing Hadza language (section)

==Name==
The Hadza go by several names in the literature. ''Hadza'' itself means "human being." ''Hazabee'' is the plural, and ''Hazaphii'' means "they are men." ''Hatza'' and ''Hatsa'' are older German spellings. The language is sometimes distinguished as ''Hazane,'' "of the Hadza".{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}

''Tindiga'' is from Swahili ''watindiga'' "people of the marsh grass" (from the large spring in Mangola) and ''kitindiga'' (their language). ''Kindiga'' is apparently a form of the same from one of the local Bantu languages, presumably [[Isanzu language|Isanzu]].{{cn|date=January 2023}} ''Kangeju'' (pronounced ''Kangeyu'') is an obsolete German name of unclear origin. ''Wahi'' (pronounced ''Vahi'') is the German spelling of the [[Sukuma language|Sukuma]] name for either the Hadza west of the lake, or perhaps a Sukuma clan that traces its ancestry to the Hadza.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}
