word usage - What is difference between people and peoples?


Would anyone like to comprehensively explain? I am not sure peoples word exist or not. Kindly request to you all please explain about this.



Thanks.



Answer



We use the word "peoples" to talk about groups of specific ethnicities, races, communities, or nations.



Estimates put the total population of indigenous peoples from 220 million to 350 million.



"People" can also be used to talk about the human population in general, or a group of 'persons' usually with some shared link between them. Even if they're from the same ethnicity, if you're only speaking about individuals you would say "people".



The people at the pet centre helped me find a dog.
