Proper nounSingular Guinea-Bissau Plural - Guinea-Bissau
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Republic of Guinea-Bissau (pronounced /ˈɡɪni bɪˈsaʊ/; Portuguese: República da Guiné-Bissau, pronounced [ʁɛˈpublikɐ dɐ ɡiˈnɛ biˈsaw]) is located in West Africa. It is bordered by Senegal to the north, and Guinea to the south and east, with the Atlantic Ocean to its west. It covers nearly 37,000 square kilometres (14,000 sq mi) with an estimated population of 1,600,000. Guinea-Bissau was once part of the kingdom of Gabu, part of the Mali Empire; parts of this kingdom persisted until the eighteenth century, while others were part of the Portuguese Empire. It then became the Portuguese colony of Portuguese Guinea in the 19th century. Upon independence, declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974, the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's name to prevent confusion with the Republic of Guinea. Only 14% of the population speaks the official language, Portuguese. 44% speak Kriol, a Portuguese-based creole language, and the remainder speaks native African languages. The main religions are Islam and African traditional religions. It is a member of the African Union, Economic Community of West African States, Organisation of the Islamic Conference, the Latin Union, Community of Portuguese Language Countries, La Francophonie and the South Atlantic Peace and Cooperation Zone. The country's per-capita gross domestic product is one of the lowest in the world. From Wikipedia under the

Q. What are some taboos in Guinea Bissau??? Asked by Obsessedwith_writing - Mon Jan 21 15:45:18 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Google in "Taboos in Bissau" I had some fun, hope these TABOOS are enough. Talking of sex is relatively taboo and so by association, talking about AIDS is taboo also. Breach of marriage is taboo. There must be an effort to counter traditional food taboos, such as the prohibition of certain protein foods to children. The Fulani (Fula Jalon of Guinea-Bissau) have numerous taboos, rules which are never to be broken. One of the fore-most of these is a taboo against speaking the name of spouses, parents, parents-in-law, first sons, or first daughters. They also follow Islamic dietary laws, and refuse to eat goat meat for fear of becoming lepers.
