Ethnicity, Language, & Religion of Guyana
Ethnicity
Over 40% of Guyana's population is entirely (east) Indian. However, India is home to dozens of ethnic groups and in Guyana there is little distinction from one ethnic group to the next; many people are a combination of numerous ethnicities, although they tend to be northern Indian ethnic groups. Another 30% of the population is wholly African, about 15% is of mixed ethnicity, and about 10% is wholly Amerindian.
Language
There are multiple languages spoken in Guyana, but English seems to be the main language of communication across groups. Within varying groups other languages are preferred as the (east) Indian population tends to speak Caribbean Hindustani (a dialect of Bhojpuri), the indigenous people speak rare native languages, and others speak Urdu or some form of English Creole, again depending on their ethnicity or culture.
