The Beti-Pahuin (clic here Wiki) are a group of related peoples who inhabit the rain forest regions of Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and São Tomé and Príncipe. Though they separate themselves into several individual ethnic groups, they all share a common history and culture. They were numbered at an estimated 3,320,000 individuals in the late 20th century. Their languages, from the Bantu subgroup of the Niger-Congo language family, are mutually intelligible and are thus sometimes considered to be dialects of a single tongue, called Beti.


 


La etnia fang (clic here Wiki) es originaria del interior del área continental de Guinea Ecuatorial. Esta etnia se encuentra así mismo en Gabón y Camerún, actualmente constituye el grupo étnico más numeroso en Guinea Ecuatorial y su población se ha distribuido por todo el país. Los fangs son conocidos por sus esculturas talladas.
Otras etnias de Guinea Ecuatorial son los bubis, ndowés, combes, bisio, entre otros.
