peoples

I have seen this word recently on a Turkish newspaper in its english lanquage site. Is It correct to use this word?

PEOPLES OF THESE COUNTRIES......
  

Top answer

yes, it is correct. 'Peoples' in this sense means 'different groups of particular race, religions or cultures'. That is, 'ethic groups'.

hi,

I don't think it's logical to say peoples of these countries. However, the word PEOPLES exists and it means something like NATIONS.

Take care,

Ilona
