English is the official language, but over 20 indigenous languages are spoken, reflecting the country's ethnic and cultural diversity.

Economy: It is extremely underdeveloped, largely due to the First Liberian Civil War (1989–1996). Liberia itself is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Until 1979, Liberia's economy was among the more developed and fastest-growing in Sub-Saharan Africa, but after the 1980 coup d'état, it declined, and the civil war destroyed much of Liberia's economy and infrastructure, especially the infrastructure in and around the nation's capital, Monrovia.
