Honduras is a small country roughly the same size as England but the population is much smaller than that of England. In fact, according to 2017 estimates, it has a population of around 9 million people which is a similar size to the population of London! It is the most mountainous country in Central America, and there is a great fact that 70% of the country is at more than a 30 degree angle. Spanish is the most common language across Honduras but there is also the Garifuna language along the Caribbean coast, and English is spoken widely across the Bay Islands.
