Do Angolans consider themselves as Southern or Central Africans?

Numa merda duma página que fala de Angola aparecem sempre gajos a escrever em inglês. Escrevam em português assim chegam a mais pessoas

O reddit agora tem botão de tradução. Também já tens gente a comentar/ publicar em português em subreddits ingleses. Não é preciso tanta militância, é carregar no botão e seguir em frente

Jovem para mim o problema não é a tradução uma vez que sei perfeitamente falar inglês, trata-se da pertinência de escrever em inglês num subreditt onde a língua deveria ser Português

u/JayEffarelti 5h ago
Mas qual pertinência? Se a pessoa não sabe falar português vai deixar de participar porque o resto do subreddit está em português? Que falta de pragmatismo ridícula. Há com cada dogma inútil na internet

I’m not Angolan but there’s a lot more in common with DRC, Republic of Congo than with Botswana, Lesotho etc

It is actually more central than southern. They’ve stronger ties with Central Africans culture (pre colonial kingdoms were virtually the same as the ones in DRC), if you check climate zones, they’re more similar with central Africa as they mostly lack dry deserts like Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe; and even the seasonal cold that is present in Southern Africa from Jun-Sept is much milder in Angola (Angola on average receives 1000mm+, compared to 470mm in South Africa, or 388mm in Botswana)
Linguistically, they don’t really have the click languages Southern Africa is famous for
And economically, they mirror republic of the Congo as a petro state.2

What about Chokwe whi speak basically the same Language of Tshiluba people?

Just because a group speak a similar language it does not mean they are the same culturally.

That's really not true. There's historical and ethnical continuity between Angola and DRC in the north, it's it's also the case with Namibia in the south. Other than that, Angolan culture is very different from Congolese culture.

“I’m not Angolan” then why are you commenting? The question was directed to Angolans, and on top of that you are spreading misinformation about our culture,we have our own unique culture that you don’t find in other African countries. And about the Congolese yes the upper north share culture but even that is to a certain extent and I mean limited extent since they are still culturally Angolan.

u/PowerfulElevatorLift 1d ago
I don't get it tho so the North share culture with the Congolese but The Chokwe speaking almost the same language doesn't? Do you think southern angolans don't share cultures too with Namibians?

No barely the ones near the boarder do to an extent we have our own unique culture that is why.

Why is it that non Angolans almost always like speaking for Angolans? The culture your comparing is regional it doesn't encompass Angola as a whole.
We also share ethnic groups with Namibia and Zambia and they never speak for us like you guys seemingly always do.

Southern. It’s the oficial government position and what’s always been taught in school here, that Angola is a country in Southern Africa (Africa Austral)
