The Seychelles has a small population of just over 92,000 people, displaying a multiracial blend of African, Asian and European descent to create a modern Creole culture. French and English are the official languages along with Seychellois Creole.
The majority of the islands are uninhabited, with more than 50% of the total land area under natural conservation (a world record), making the Seychelles a leader in sustainable tourism.
