    DefinitionShort: the largest unit into which the people of the world are divided on the basis of their constituting a socio-political community
    Glosses: ['nation', 'people']
    Comments: In a number of languages a term meaning basically ‘tribe’ has been extended in meaning to identify ‘nations.’ In other instances different nations are spoken of simply as ‘different peoples.’ In certain cases distinct nations are classified primarily in terms of their diverse languages, for example, ‘those people who speak different languages.’ Such an expression should not, however, be used if it only refers to multilingual persons.

    DefinitionShort: a collective for people who belong to God (whether Jews or Christians)
    Glosses: people of God
    Comments: The phrase ‘people of God’ may be rendered in some languages as ‘the people who belong to God’ or ‘the people whom God possesses,’ but in a number of languages the relationship between the people and God must be expressed in terms of reverence or worship, for example, ‘the people who worship God’ or ‘the people who reverence God.’ See also {D:11.27}.

    DefinitionShort: a casual non-membership group of people, fairly large in size and assembled for whatever purpose{N:001}
    Glosses: ['crowd', 'multitude']
    Comments: In a number of languages there is no term corresponding to ‘crowd.’ One may, however, usually speak of such a group of people as ‘many people’ or ‘many men and women.’ Depending on the context, it may be necessary to indicate some relative difference in size, for example, ‘very large crowd’ or ‘many, many people.’ If the crowd is relatively small, one may sometimes speak of ‘just some people.’

    DefinitionShort: the common people, in contrast with those who are rich, leaders, and/or authorities in the society, often with the implication of disdain and low esteem
    Glosses: ['common people', 'rabble']
    Comments: In a number of languages the equivalent of ‘the common people’ is ‘the poor people,’ but in some languages an equivalent depends upon geographical location, for example, ‘those who live on the edge of town’ (the opposite situation from what exists in most present-day metropolitan centers). In still other languages ‘the common people’ may be designated in terms of lack of status, for example, ‘those who have no position’ or ‘those whom the rich do not greet’ or ‘those before whom no one ever bows.’
