Hello! 'peoples' CAN be correct when describing various things; especially when you SAY it rather than write it. I'll explain: You can say (or write) "The People's Court" (a TV show in the USA) or "The people's right to express themselves".

hello Benjamin
I didn't mean the possessive
what I meant is that :
is it correct to say peoples as the plural of people ?
is it right that the word peoples is the plural of the word people ?
and thank u very much

The word "people" is already plural.
One person, two people.
"Peoples" is correct in some situations, such as when you describe multiple populations. You will be more likely to find it being using in a context that relates to sociology for example, describing "peoples of the world."

Hi all.
This is what I thought or knew about people vs peoples. Please let me know if I'm accurate or not.
People of the North America.
People is used when the object of the subject is singular noun or a single collective noun. In the above case, North America is the object and is a singular noun. There i think, Peoples of Native America is wrong as Native America is

Is this sentence correct - 'the german peoples did not yet exist as a united nation'

It's possible if you begin the first two words with a capital letter and end the sentence with a full stop.
