Cameroon

Cameroon is a country in Central Africa that is tucked in between Nigeria and Equitorial Guinea. It is about the size of the state of California and it has a population of over 20 million. There are a tremendous number of ethnic groups in Cameroon. While the official languages of Cameroon are English and French, there are a plethora of other African languages and dialects which are spoken widely within the country. 

The climate ranges widely throughout the country from a more southern tropical coast, to volcanic mountains, to hot and arid in the north. 



Religious beliefs are varied throughout Cameroon. About 40% of the population profess indigenous beliefs, another 40% profess Christianity, and 20% profess Islam.
