Papua New Guinea is an amazing country with wonderfully kept traditions. The traditional Melanesian cultures keep these alive with different rituals such as feasts, marriages and deaths. Having 5 million as a population, PNG's people have 800 different types of dialect, one-third of the worlds indigenous tongues!
Back in the day, Papua New Guinea was two different countries, Papua and New Guinea. Papua was called British New Guinea which was re-named Papua. German New Guinea was obviously controlled by Germans. But after WWI, the League of Nations told Australia to take control of New Guinea, but Papua remained in British possession. In 1975, PNG gained independence
