DAMARALAND

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 783 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DAMARALAND , a region of
south
 -western Africa, bounded W, by the
Atlantic
 , E. by the
Kalahari
 , N. by Ovampoland, and S. by
Great
  Namaqualand. It forms the central portion of German
South
 -West Africa. Damaraland is alternatively known as Hereroland, both names being derived from the tribes inhabiting the region. The so-called Damara consist of two probably distinct peoples. They are known respectively as " the Hill Damara " and " the Cattle Damara," i.e. those who breed cattle in the plains. The Hill Damara are Negroes with much Hottentot blood, and have adopted the Hottentot
tongue
 , while the Cattle Damara are of distinct
Bantu
 -Negro descent and speak a
Bantu
  language. The
term
  Damara (" Two Dama
Women
  ") is of Hottentot origin, and is not used by the
people
 , who
call
  themselves Ova-herero, " the Merry
People
  " (see HOTTENTOTS and HERERO).
