The Republic of Colombia is an ethnically and linguistically diverse country located in South America. It comprises 32 departments and it has territories in North America.

Spanish is the official language in Colombia but in the archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, the official language is English. Among the ethnic groups in the country are White Castizo, Mestizo, Afro-Colombian, Amerindian, Raizal, Palenquero and Romani.

In 1819, Colombia gained its independence from Spain. The former was called the United States of Colombia in 1863 and became a republic in 1886.
