The peoples of Africa are often described in terms of their ethnic background or their languages. There are several thousand ethnic groups in Africa, ranging in physical stature from the short Pygmies to the tall Maasai, each with its own cultural traditions. Here are only a few of them.
Laka  Lega  Lobi  Luba  Luchazi  Luluwa  Lunda  Luvale  Lwalwa Maasai Makonde  Mambila  Mangbetu  Manja  Mbole  Mende  Mitsogo  Mossi  Mumuye Ngbaka  Nkanu  Nok  Nuna  Oron Owo  Pende  Pokot  Punu  San  Senufo  Shambaa  Shona  Songo  Songye  Suku  Swahili  Tabwa  Tuareg  Urhobo  We Wimiama  Wodaabe  Wolof  Woyo  Wum  Yaka  Yombe  Yoruba  Zaramo  Zulu

Please note: Some of the peoples and associations presented here are so closely related that more than one topic heading may apply. For example, The Akan people are given a page of their own, yet the Asante ( Ashanti ) are also an Akan people, as are the Akuapem. So, a full search for the 'Akan' may involve looking at pages dedicated to sub-groups as well. Some sub-group pages may contain only a link or two, but they are still part of a much larger picture. You will find a similar relationship among some of other peoples listed here. This is a case where a little advanced knowledge of the subject may be an advantage when using these pages. |
