Often dubbed the Land of Six Peoples, Guyana has a very rich ethnic population which can be seen at all times during your visit to the country.
After the Dutch established three colonies, they started importing slaves from Africa to work on the sugar plantations and to carry out the hard work for building the defence systems against the Atlantic. When slavery was abolished in the 19th century, East Indians, Chinese and Portuguese came to work here as indentured servants. Nowadays, after several centuries of living together in the same country, the population is increasingly mixing. I sincerely hope that the Guyanese will treasure the richness of their ethnic diversity. The main ethnic groups are the East Indians and the Africans, while the Europeans and Portuguese are but minor groups. English is the main language, which can be considered a major advantage for many visitors; pronunciation is not always easy to understand for the foreign traveler.
