Who they are
The Principense live on the island of Príncipe, in São Tomé and Príncipe. Their language, Lung’ie, has a Portuguese-based vocabulary and is severely endangered. Its speakers also use Portuguese. A dictionary with recordings of local residents was created to support the teaching of Lung’ie in the island’s schools. Most Principense identify as Christians, while a small proportion have no religion.
