* Bantu: "Bantu" is a linguistic term referring to a large family of languages spoken across sub-Saharan Africa. It's not a single language, but rather a collection of related languages with common origins.
* Arabs: "Arabs" are a diverse group of people with a common origin in the Arabian Peninsula. The language they primarily speak is Arabic, a Semitic language.
Therefore, it's incorrect to say that the Bantu and Arabs spoke the same language.
To clarify:
* Bantu people spoke various Bantu languages.
* Arab people spoke Arabic.
While there has been historical interaction and cultural exchange between Bantu and Arab communities, their languages are distinct.
