Antiguans and Barbudans (Antiguan and Barbudan Creole: Aanteegan an' Baabyuudan dem) are the people associated with the country of Antigua and Barbuda. They primarily speak Antiguan and Barbudan Creole and share the same culture. Antiguans and Barbudans are found worldwide, most notably in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. There are about 147,000 Antiguans and Barbudans in total, including about 42,000 in the diaspora. Antigua and Barbuda has been primarily inhabited by African descendants, multiracial people, Europeans since the 17th century, with significant influxes of Hispanic people and other groups during the 20th and 21st centuries. Following associated statehood in 1967, the first major Antiguan and Barbudan migrations outside of the Caribbean took place.
The culture of Antiguans and Barbudans encompasses various forms of music, art, cuisine, oral history, and clothing, many of which have since spread throughout the Caribbean. Internationally, many Antiguans and Barbudans such as writer Jamaica Kincaid and sportsman Viv Richards have been held in high regard, and Antiguan and Barbudan Creole is the majority language in four countries and territories. Most Antiguans and Barbudans are Protestant Christians, and Christianity remains a significant part of most of the people's daily lives.
