Honduras

Hondurans are overwhelmingly of mixed European and Indigenous (Mestizo) heritage, with Indigenous, Afro-Caribbean (Garifuna), and other minorities. Spanish is the official language.

Roman Catholicism is the traditional faith, with a large and growing evangelical Protestant minority.

Society

Honduras has a young population and moderate literacy but high poverty and crime, with the economy and many families heavily reliant on money sent home from the United States.
