Cameroonianborn

Cameroonian-born is an adjective used to describe a person who was born in Cameroon, a country located in Central Africa along the Gulf of Guinea. The term emphasizes place of birth rather than current citizenship or nationality.

In English, the standard demonym for people from Cameroon is Cameroonian. The compound form Cameroonian-born is commonly used in biographical notes, census data, immigration records, and bios to indicate that birth occurred in Cameroon.

Cameroon is culturally and linguistically diverse; official languages are French and English, with hundreds of local languages spoken. As a result, Cameroonian-born individuals may have varied linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and many belong to diaspora communities abroad where they are identified as Cameroonian-born in biographies and passports.

The term does not indicate ethnicity, religion, or profession, and it applies regardless of where a person grows up or lives. It can accompany gender and other identifiers in formal and informal contexts.

Notable Cameroonian-born individuals have achieved prominence in sports, music, science, and politics, reflecting Cameroon’s diverse contributions to global culture and society. See also: Cameroon; Cameroonian diaspora; Demographics of Cameroon.
