Cabo Verde

Languages:

Cape Verde is a small island nation located off the coast of West Africa with a population of just over half a million people. Portuguese is the official language of the country and is spoken by the majority of the population. However, Cape Verdean Creole, a creole language based on Portuguese, is the most widely spoken language in the country. It is spoken by over 95% of the population and is the mother tongue of most Cape Verdeans. The Creole language has its own unique grammar, syntax, and vocabulary, and is considered a separate language from Portuguese. French and English are also spoken by a small percentage of the population.

Religion:

Cape Verde is a predominantly Roman Catholic country, with over 77% of the population identifying as Catholic. The country has a long history with the Catholic Church, dating back to the Portuguese colonization in the 15th century. The remaining population is largely Protestant, with the Church of the Nazarene being the largest Protestant denomination in the country. Other religions in Cape Verde include Islam and Baha'i Faith, each accounting for less than 1% of the population. Cape Verde is known for its religious tolerance and peaceful coexistence among different religions. Despite being a predominantly Catholic country, the country celebrates a variety of religious holidays, including Muslim holidays such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
