Peoples

v. fill with people, populate; settle, inhabit

n. human beings; persons; members of particular race religion or culture; citizens of a nation

For other uses of this term, see People (disambiguation). People denotes a group of humans, either with unspecified traits, or specific characteristics (e.g. the people of Spain or the people of the Plains).The term people is often used in English as the suppletive plural of person. However, the word persons is sometimes used in place of people, especially when it would be ambiguous with its collective sense (e.g. missing persons instead of missing people). The term people can collectively refer to all humans or it can be used to identify the citizens of a nation, or members of a tribe, ethnic, or religious group. "People of color" is an archaic and potentially derogatory phrase used to describe people with skin color darker than that of white people.
