Sesotho is modified Setswana, in the 1800s moshoeshoe founded Basotho from mostly Batswana clans. Batswana are not Sotho, it is Basotho who are (Originally) Batswana, the rest of the Batswana who didn't find refuge under Moshoeshoe remained as Batswana. Batswana have their own way of saying black person and "Mosotho" is not one of the words. page 59 to 60 of the bantu past and present shows how Basotho were formed after the Batswana had already been existing. The term western Sotho is also not found in the Batswana language, Setswana.
