Which ethnic group makes up the overwhelming majority of Lesotho's population?

The Sotho (also known as Basotho) people make up the overwhelming majority of the population in Lesotho. They were unified in the 19th century under the leadership of Moshoeshoe I, and they maintain a strong sense of cultural unity and nationhood. While the country is also home to a Zulu minority, as well as small populations of Asian, mixed, and European ancestry, the Sotho remain the primary ethnic group.1
