Intro paragraph's claim of the word "buckaroo" being derived from the Ibibio/Efik word "mbakara" is not factual.

[edit]

"Ibibio has also had influences on Afro-American diasporic languages such as AAVE words like buckra, and buckaroo, which come from the Ibibio word mbakara, and in the Afro-Cuban tradition of abakua."

Wikipedia must be contradicting itself cus this is what it says for its dictionary, Wiktionary, on the word "buckaroo": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/buckaroo

It's actually from Spanish vaquero (“cowboy”), from Vulgar Latin vaccārius (“cowherder, rancher”). Languagelover3000 (talk) 02:07, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
