Demographics of Angola
[1] Ethnically, there are three main groups, each speaking a Bantu language: the Ovimbundu who represent 37% of the population, the Ambundu with 25%, and the Bakongo 11%.In addition, mixed race (European and African) people amount to about 7%, with nearly 1% of the population being whites, mainly ethnically Portuguese.[3][4][5][6] Besides the Portuguese, significant numbers of people from other European and from diverse Latin American countries (especially Brazil) can be found.Once this was over, a massive development cooperation in the field of health and education brought in numerous civil personnel from Cuba.Roughly 26% are followers of traditional forms of Protestantism (Congregationals, Methodists, Baptista, Lutherans, Reformed), but over the last decades there has in addition been a growth of Pentecostal communities and African Initiated Churches.The website Our World in Data prepared the following estimates based on statistics from the Population Department of the United Nations.
