Angola

Angola is ethnically diverse, with the Ovimbundu, Kimbundu, and Bakongo the largest groups. Portuguese is the official language, a legacy of colonial rule, alongside Bantu languages.

Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant, is the dominant faith, blended with indigenous beliefs.

Society

Angola has a young, fast-growing population but low development indicators, with oil wealth concentrated among an elite and much of the population still poor.
