1. Navn og elver:<\/strong>\u00a0Navnet \"Guyana\" kommer fra det indianske ordet \"Guiana\", som betyr \"landet med mange elver\". De fire lengste elvene i Guyana er Essequibo, Courantyne, Berbice og Demerara (Essequibo er den lengste).<\/p>\n

2. Nederlandsk:<\/strong>\u00a0P\u00e5 1600-tallet ble Guyana en nederlandsk koloni, der nederlenderne bygde dieselsystemer for \u00e5 h\u00e5ndtere elvene og etablere jordbruk.<\/p>\n

3. Britisk:<\/strong>\u00a0I 1815 tok britene makten i Guyana, noe som resulterte i at landet fikk navnet Britisk Guyana. Det var f\u00f8rst i 1966 at Guyana ble selvstendig fra britene.<\/p>\n

4. Befolkningssammensetning:<\/strong>\u00a0Guyanas befolkning best\u00e5r f\u00f8rst og fremst av indere (hindustani\/\u00f8stindere) og afrikanere (henholdsvis 43,5% og 30,2%), alle etterkommere av slaver som ble brakt til landet av nederlendere og briter i fortiden. I tillegg kommer personer av blandet herkomst (16,7%) og innf\u00f8dte indere (9,1%).<\/p>\n

5. Kystomr\u00e5det:<\/strong>\u00a0Rundt 90% av Guyanas befolkning bor p\u00e5 en smal del av landets kystomr\u00e5de, som utgj\u00f8r rundt 10% av landets totale areal.<\/p>\n

Fakta: I Guyana er cricket den mest popul\u00e6re sporten p\u00e5 grunn av den store indiske befolkningen og landets historie som britisk koloni.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Motto:<\/strong>\u00a0Guyanas nasjonale motto er: \"One People, One Nation, One Destiny\", som betyr \"Ett folk, \u00e9n nasjon, \u00e9n skjebne\".<\/p>\n

7. Regnskog:<\/strong>\u00a0Rundt 70% av Guyanas areal er dekket av regnskog.<\/p>\n

8. Flagg:<\/strong>\u00a0Guyanas flagg kalles ogs\u00e5 \"The Golden Arrow Head\", som betyr \"den gylne spydspissen\". Flagget har v\u00e6rt i bruk siden 1966, da Guyana ble selvstendig fra britene.<\/p>\n

9. Jim Jones:<\/strong>\u00a018. november 1978 begikk den amerikanske religi\u00f8se sektlederen Jim Jones masseselvmord sammen med sine 909 tilhengere i Jonestown i Guyana. Denne tragedien gjorde landet verdensber\u00f8mt.<\/p>\n

10. Sport:<\/strong>\u00a0Den st\u00f8rste idretten i Guyana er cricket, og i internasjonale cricketkonkurranser er landet en del av \"West Indies cricket team\", som tidligere var det sterkeste laget i verden.<\/p>\n
