This template is designed to illustrate ethnic names with divergent variants for the people, nation, and language, as are commonly found in [[Bantu languages|Bantu]] and other [[African languages]]. It takes between one and five parameters.
==Minimal example==
{{Infobox ethnonym|person=Motswana|people=[[Tswana people|Batswana]]|language=[[Tswana language|Setswana]]}}
At a minimum, the template requires three parameters, for a person, the people, and the language, as below and at right:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">{{Infobox ethnonym|person=Motswana|people=[[Tswana people|Batswana]]|language=[[Tswana language|Setswana]]}}</syntaxhighlight>
{{clear}}

==Full example==
{{Infobox ethnonym|person=Motswana|people=[[Tswana people|Batswana]]|language=[[Tswana language|Setswana]]|country=[[Botswana]]|root=Tswana}}
If a fourth parameter is added, it will show up as the country. A fifth may be used for the root word as a title for the box:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">{{Infobox ethnonym|person=Motswana|people=[[Tswana people|Batswana]]|language=[[Tswana language|Setswana]]|country=[[Botswana]]|root=Tswana}}</syntaxhighlight>

If the fourth parameter is left empty, the 'country' row will not appear, even with a title in the fifth slot.
