Africani

Africani is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily relating to people of African descent or things associated with Africa. One common usage refers to people of African origin, particularly those living outside of the African continent, such as in Europe or the Americas. This usage often encompasses the diaspora and their descendants, acknowledging a shared heritage and cultural background.

In a different context, particularly in some European countries, "Africani" can be used as a collective noun for people of Black African ethnicity. This usage, however, can be perceived as outdated or even pejorative by some, and is less common in contemporary discourse which favors more specific terms like African, Black, or specific nationalities.

Furthermore, "africani" might be used in a botanical or zoological context to denote species or varieties originating from Africa. For example, a plant might be described as an "africani" variety if it is native to the African continent. This usage is purely descriptive and scientific. The specific meaning of "africani" is therefore highly dependent on the context in which it is used.
