Etymology
Barotse is used to name the language spoken by the Lozi people of western Zambia, who live along the Zambezi River. A helpful way to remember this is that 'Barotse' often means the same as Lozi, so the Barotse language is simply the speech of those people. So Barotse as a noun refers to that language.
