Ethnic groups in Angola are dominated by the Bantu, who are divided into a number of ethnolinguistic groupings. The main ones are the Ovimbundu, constituting some 37% of the population in 2005, the Kimbundu, totaling 25% of the population, and the with 13.372%.

The mestiço (mixed European and Native African) make up about 2% of the population. Since the mestiços are generally better educated than the black population, they exercise influence in government disproportionate to their numbers.^{[neutrality is disputed][citation needed]} Europeans, mostly of Portuguese extraction, constitute 1% of the population; other varied groups account for the remaining 22%.
