Mozambique population

The people of Mozambique are ethnically diverse, but the ethnic categories are fluid and reflect the country's colonial history. All the inhabitants of the country were designated as Portuguese in 1961, and some ethnic classifications such as Makua-Lomwe were created by Portuguese colonial officials themselves. In the country, besides the Makua-Lomwe, live the Tsonga, the Sena, the Ndau (see Shona), the Chopi, the Chewa, the Yao, the Makonde and the Ngoni.

In terms of cultural organization, the Zambezi Valley again provides the key marker of Mozambique, roughly dividing groups that trace their heritage along matrilineal principles in the north and groups that order along patrilineal lines in the south. In matrilineal groups authority rests with the older male of the extended family traced by female lineage, while in patrilineal groups the older male is identified by male lineage. Throughout the 20th century, however, many matrilineal groups embraced patrilineality and virilocal establishment, with new families settling in a lineage household of the husband rather than that of the wife.
