The Mbundu people are the second largest people group in Angola. About one quarter of the people in Angola are of Mbundu origin however a smaller percentage of Mbundu people speak the Kimbundu language in favor of Portuguese[citation needed] because of strong influence of the Portuguese in Mbundu territory. The Mbundu people live in the region surrounding Angola's capital city of Luanda. They also are predominant in the Bengo, Cuanza Norte, Cuanza Sul, and Malanje provinces. The head of the Mbundu kingdom was called the N'gola which is the origin of the name of the country, Angola.
