90% of the Honduran population is Mestizo (a mixture of Amerindian and European). 7% of the Honduran population consist of various indigenous groups, among these the Ch'orti', a Mayan group living in the southwest on the border with Guatemala, the Garifuna speaking a Carib language, the Pech or Paya Indians living in a small area in the Olancho department, the Tolupan, living in in the Department of Yoro and in the reserve of the Montaña de la Flor, the Lenca Indians living in the Valle and Choluteca departments, and the Miskito Indians living on the eastern coastline along the border with Nicaragua. About 2% of Honduras's population is black, and mainly reside on the country's Caribbean or Atlantic coast. Honduras hosts a significant Palestinian community (the vast majority of whom are Christian Arabs), and a number of Asians, mostly of Chinese descent, and to a lesser extent Japanese.
