According to 2014 census data, Angola had a population of 25,789,024 inhabitants in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://aiangola.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Publicação-Resultados-Definitivos-Censo-Geral-2014_Versão-22032016_DEFINITIVA-18H17.pdf |title= Resultados Definitivos do Censo 2014 RESULTADOS DEFINITIVOS RECENSEAMENTO GERAL DA POPULAÇÃO HABITAÇÃO |date=2014 |website=aiangola.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506013702/http://aiangola.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Publica%C3%A7%C3%A3o-Resultados-Definitivos-Censo-Geral-2014_Vers%C3%A3o-22032016_DEFINITIVA-18H17.pdf |archive-date=May 6, 2016}}</ref>
Ethnically, there are three main groups, each speaking a [[Bantu language]]: the [[Southern Mbundu people|Ovimbundu]] who represent 37% of the population, the [[Northern Mbundu people|Ambundu]] with 25%, and the [[Kongo people|Bakongo]] 11%. Other numerically important groups include the closely interrelated [[Chokwe people|Chokwe]] and [[Lunda people|Lunda]], the [[Ganguela]] and [[Nyaneka]]-[[Khumbi]] (in both cases classification terms that stand for a variety of small groups), the [[Ovambo people|Ovambo]], the [[Herero people|Herero]],  the [[Xindonga]] and scattered residual groups of [[San people|San]]. In addition, mixed race (European and African) people amount to about 7%, with nearly 1% of the population being whites, mainly ethnically [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]].

As a [[Angola (Portugal)|former overseas territory of Portugal]] until 1975, Angola possesses a Portuguese population of over 200,000, a number that has been growing from 2000 onwards, because of Angola's growing demand for qualified human resources. Currently,{{when|date=December 2023}} Around 300,000 Angolans are white, around 500,000 Angolans are mixed race or black and white, and around 50,000 Angolans are from China.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://thisisafrica.me/politics-and-society/race-relations-angola/ | title=Race relations in Angola | date=September 26, 2013 }}</ref> This accounts for around 850,000 people. In 1974, white Angolans made up a population of 350,000 people in an overall population of 6.3 million Angolans at that time. The only reliable source on these numbers is Gerald Bender & Stanley Yoder, ''Whites in Angola on the Eve of Independence: The Politics of Numbers'', ''Africa Today'', 21 (4) 1974, pp.&nbsp;23 – 37. Today,{{when|date=December 2023}} many Angolans who are not ethnic Portuguese can claim Portuguese nationality under Portuguese law. Estimates on the overall population are given in ''O Pais''.<ref>[http://www.opais.net/pt/opais/?det=7192 O País]</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.economist.com/node/12079340?story_id=12079340|title=Flight from Angola|date=1975-08-16|newspaper=The Economist|access-date=2017-07-10|issn=0013-0613}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://countrystudies.us/angola/34.htm|title=Angola - The Portuguese Coup d'Etat and the End of the Colonial Era|website=countrystudies.us|access-date=2017-07-10}}</ref><ref>{{in lang|pt}} [https://jn.sapo.pt/PaginaInicial/Sociedade/Interior.aspx?content_id=1165354 Portugueses em Angola quadruplicaram] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090311001844/http://jn.sapo.pt/PaginaInicial/Sociedade/Interior.aspx?content_id=1165354 |date=March 11, 2009 }}, [[Jornal de Notícias]] (March 10, 2009)</ref> Besides the Portuguese, significant numbers of people from other European and from diverse Latin American countries (especially Brazil) can be found. From the 2000s, many Chinese have settled and started up small businesses, while at least as many have come as workers for large enterprises (construction or other). Observers claim that the Chinese community in Angola might include as many as 300,000 persons at the end of 2010, but reliable statistics are not at this stage available.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/9052011.stm|title=BBC News - Chinese karaoke fans sing Angola's praises|website=news.bbc.co.uk|date=October 2, 2010 |language=en-GB|access-date=2017-07-18}}</ref> In 1974/75, over 25,000 [[Cuba]]n soldiers arrived in Angola to help the MPLA forces at the beginning of the [[Angolan Civil War]]. Once this was over, a massive development cooperation in the field of health and education brought in numerous civil personnel from Cuba. However, only a very small percentage of all these people has remained in Angola, either for personal reasons (intermarriage) or as professionals (e.g., medical doctors).

The largest religious denomination is [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]], to which adheres about half the population. 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 Church]]es. In 2006, one out of 221 people were [[Jehovah's Witnesses]]. Africans from Mali, Nigeria and Senegal are mostly Sunnite Muslims, but do not make up more than 1 - 2% of the population. By now few Angolans retain [[African traditional religion]]s following different ethnic faiths.

==Ethnic groups==
[[File:Angola Ethnic map 1970.svg|thumb|right|300px|Ethnic groups of Angola 1970]]
Roughly 37% of Angolans are [[Ovimbundu]], 25% are [[Northern Mbundu people|Ambundu]], 13% are [[Bakongo]], 7% are [[mestiço]], 1-2% are [[White Africans of European ancestry|white Africans]], and people from other African ethnicities make up 22% of Angola's population.

[[Romani people]] were deported to Angola from Portugal.<ref>[http://www.romaninet.com/ROMANINET_Cultural_report.pdf REPORT ON ROMA PEOPLE - Romaninet]</ref>

==Languages==
{{Main|Languages of Angola}}
[[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] is the official language of Angola, but [[Bantu language|Bantu]] and other African languages are also widely spoken. In fact, [[Kikongo]], [[Kimbundu languages|Kimbundu]], [[Umbundu]], [[Chokwe language|Tuchokwe]], [[Ganguela language|Ganguela]], and [[Kwanyama dialect|Ukanyama]] have the official status of "national languages". The mastery of Portuguese is widespread; in the cities the overwhelming majority are either fluent in Portuguese or have at least a reasonable working knowledge of this language; an increasing minority are native Portuguese speakers and have a poor, if any, knowledge of an African language.

==Religion==
{{Main|Religion in Angola}}
Angola is a majority Christian country. Official statistics do not exist, however it is estimated that over 80% belong to a Christian church or community. More than half are [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], the remaining ones comprising members of traditional [[Protestant]] churches as well as of [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostal]] communities. Only 0.1% are [[Muslim]]s  - generally immigrants from other African countries. Some insider news says that there is an unofficial ban on Islam in Angola. Traditional indigenous religions are practiced by a very small minority, generally in peripheral rural societies.
