Guinea-Bissau; officially: República da Guiné-Bissau; Republic of Guinea-Bissau is one of the smaller of the African countries and the only African country whose official language is Portugese. It was formerly the Portuguese colony of Portuguese Guinea and upon independence on September 24, 1973 (ratified on September 10, 1974) the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's official name in order to prevent confusion between itself and the Republic of Guinea (above). The population of Guinea-Bissau is ethnically diverse and has many distinct languages, customs, and social structures. Nearly 99% of Guineans are black and can be divided into the following three categories: Fula and the Mandinka-speaking people, who comprise the largest portion of the population and are concentrated in the north and northeast; the Balanta and Papel people, who live in the southern coastal regions; and the Manjaco and Mancanha, who occupy the central and northern coastal areas. Only 14% of the population speaks the official language Portuguese. 44% of the population speaks Kriol, a Portuguese-based creole language, and the remainder speaks native African languages. White Portuguese and mestiços speak one of the African languages and Kriol as second languages. French is also learned in schools, as the country is surrounded by French-speaking countries and a full member of the Francophonie. The majority of the populace follows traditional animist beliefs, with 45% of the population being Muslim, principally the Fula and Mandinka peoples Less than 8% are Christian, most of whom are Roman Catholic. As a country on the Atlantic ocean, Guinea-Bissau cuisine uses fish as the basis of many recipes. The native cuisine also makes use of a combination of locally available fruit, grains, and vegetables, milk and meat products. Unlike many other West African countries the Guinea Bissau diet has a predominance of milk, curd, and whey. The carbohydrate staple is rice and peanuts (introduced by the Portugese) also make an important addition to the country's cuisine. Chillies are often used in numerous recipes, as is Guinea pepper, the seeds of Aframomum melegueta which are also called grains of paradise. Traditional ingredients include rice, peanuts, Bambara Groundnut and Hausa Groundnut, black-eyed peas, and root vegetables such as yams, coco yams, sweet potatoes, and cassava. Guinea Bissau cuisine also includes Pork meat and fish. |
