Religions

There was an unsourced, anonymous change of religious statistics. I've reverted, as the figures shown now are as presented on the CIA factbook. Greenman 08:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I have now eliminated the statistics altogether, because reliable ones simply don't exist. On this point (like on others) the CIA Factvook is unreliable. An example: to assert that more than 40% of the Angolans adhere to traditional indigenous religions is outright ridiculous. The only way out is to look forward to the general population census announced for 2013, the first one after independence. Aflis (talk) 16:42, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Languages

The following statement strikes me as extremely odd: "40% of Angolans, including Afrikaners and the remainder (blacks), speak Afrikaans and Bantu languages". I doubt that there are enough Afrikaners in Angola to merit more than a footnote (figuratively speaking). You could just as well state that "40% of Angolans, including Chinese and the remainder (blacks), speak Cantonese or Hakka and Bantu languages". It's silly to lump a statistically-insignificant group (and giving them prominent mention to boot) who speak an unrelated language (other than a few loan words) with the dominant Bantu speakers. Speaking of that, I'd like to see a cite for the 60% Portuguese-speaking assertion. This seems a bit high.GorillaTheater (talk) 20:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and I strongly suspect that the picture of the Herero women was taken in Namibia. So far as I know, there are no Herero in Angola. Maybe that explains the "Afrikaner" reference: perhaps someone has confused the two nations.GorillaTheater (talk) 20:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Agree with above whoever wrote that article clearly does not know Angola . Its a joke thats Afrikaans can be mentioned as a significant language in Angola and what Cuban descendants is this person talking about . This article is grossly misleading . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gakaka76 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
