=== Amerindian ===
The Amerindian population is the largest minority group in Honduras. The largest Amerindian group are the Lencan people. These people have been living in Honduran territory since before the [[European colonization of the Americas|colonization of the Americas]], developing their own societies and civilizations. They still have many communities across the country. The indigenous population would begin to decline from the mid-16th century, mainly due to the various diseases brought by the Europeans in addition to the growing mestizo population after the founding of towns and cities. According to the 2001 census the [[Amerindian]] population in Honduras included 381,495 people (6.3% of the total population).<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.unicef.org/lac/HONDURAS_revisado.pdf|title=Atlas sociolingüístico de Pueblos Indígenas de América Latina Fichas nacionales|website=UNICEF|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-date=3 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303205428/http://www.unicef.org/lac/HONDURAS_revisado.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> With the exception of the Lenca and the Ch'orti' they still keep their language.

Six different [[Amerindian]] groups were counted at the 2001 census:
* the [[Lenca people|Lenca]] (279,507 in 2001;4.6% of the total population) living in the La Paz, Intibucá, and Lempira departments;
* the [[Miskito people|Miskito]] (51,607 in 2001; 0.8%) living on the northeast coast along the border with [[Nicaragua]].
* the [[Ch'orti' people|Ch'orti']] (34,453 in 2001;0.6% of the total population), a Mayan group living in the northwest on the border with Guatemala;
* the [[Tolupan people|Tolupan]] (also called Jicaque, "Xicaque", or Tol; 9,617 in 2001; 0.2% of the total population), living in the reserve of the Montaña de la Flor and parts of the department of Yoro;
* the [[Pech people|Pech]] or Paya Indians (3,848 in 2001; 0.1% of the total population) living in a small area in the Olancho department;
* the [[Mayangna]] or Tawahka (2,463 in 2001; <0.1%) 
Examples of Honduran natives are the many Mayan rules of Copan and other Mayan cities, native chiefs such as [[Lempira (Lenca ruler)|Lempira]] and Cicumba, and environmental and feminist activist [[Berta Cáceres]].

=== Mestizos ===
[[Mestizos]] (meaning mixed European and Amerindian) have been reported by the [[CIA World Factbook]] to be about 87% of the population of Honduras.<ref name="CIA Factbook">{{cite web|url= https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/honduras/|title= Central America and Caribbean :: HONDURAS|date= 5 November 2021|publisher= CIA The World Factbook}}</ref> As in other Latin American countries, the question of racial breakdown of a national population is contentious. Since the beginning of the 20th century at least, Honduras has publicly framed itself as a mestizo nation, along with other Latin American countries such as [[Guatemala]] or Mexico, ignoring and at times disparaging both the European component of the population and the surviving Amerindian population that was still regarded as "pure blooded". It's well known that many Hondurans of European or almost entirely Amerindian background consider themselves mestizo.<ref name="Dario Euraque 2003 pp. 229-49">Dario Euraque, "The Threat of Blackness to the Mestizo Nation: Race and Ethnicity in the Honduran Banana Economy, 1920s and 1930s," in Steve Striffler and Mark Moberg, eds. ''Banana Wars: Power, Production and History in the Americas'' (Duke University Press, 2003), pp. 229–49.</ref><ref>Dario Euraque, "Antropólogos, archaeólogos, imperialismo y la mayanicación de Honduras, 1890–1940," ''Revista Historia'' 45 (2002): 73–103</ref>

Because of social stigmas attached, many Honduran people denied having African ancestry, and after African descended Caribbean workers arrived in Honduras, an active campaign to denigrate all people of African descent, made persons of mixed race anxious to deny any African ancestry. Hence official statistics quite uniformly under-represent those people who have ancestry in favor of a "two race" solution.<ref name="Dario Euraque 2003 pp. 229-49"/>

A [[genetic admixture]] study focusing on kidney disease in Hispanic populations in the [[United States]] found an average genetic mix of 40% European, 39% Indigenous, and 21% African ancestry in the [[Honduran Americans|Honduran-American]] diaspora population, from a sample of 295 US residents who reported all four grandparents born in Honduras.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.kireports.org/article/S2468-0249(21)00593-3/fulltext|title=POS-424 Genetic Admixture of U.S. Hispanics from Central America|date=April 2021|access-date=2025-05-29|journal=Kidney International Reports|doi=10.1016/j.ekir.2021.03.447|vauthors=Horimoto A, Cai J, Thornton T, Franceschini N|volume=6|issue=4|doi-access=free}}</ref>

=== African ===
{{Further|Afro-Honduran}}

The Afro-Honduran population consist of people of [[Afro-Descendant|Afro-Descendants with roots in colonial Honduras]], [[Garifuna people|Garifuna]], [[Miskito people|Miskito]], and [[Creole peoples|Creoles]]. Most of them are descendants of African people brought by the Spanish and other European colonizers between the 16th and 18th centuries. Many of them came from the west African coast, from places like [[Angola]] or [[Senegambia]], where European bought slaves for their colonies, while others came from the other colonies in the [[Caribbean]].

According to some reports around 230,000 enslaved Africans arrived to Honduras during colonial times, directly from Africa and other colonies in the Americas.[https://www.slavevoyages.org/blog/methodology-intra-american?utm_source=chatgpt.com][https://oxfordre.com/latinamericanhistory/display/10.1093/acrefore/9780199366439.001.0001/acrefore-9780199366439-e-600?d=%2F10.1093%2Facrefore%2F9780199366439.001.0001%2Facrefore-9780199366439-e-600&p=emailAM7DyMUyAGLuY&utm_source=chatgpt.com]

[[Scholar|Scholars]] and [[private universities]] claim ranges from 20-30% of the Honduran population being Afro-descendants due to many Black Hondurans or Afro-descendants, Mulattos, Afro-Indigenous and people with significant African descent identifying as Mestizo due to oppression from society and the government and Mestizaje, wide-spread mixing amongst other things.[https://bibliotecavirtual.clacso.org.ar/ar/libros/lasa98/England-Anderson.pdf][https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9780822385288-010/html?srsltid=AfmBOopxkB6KCX5-aujbXxcn5eaMPUF0LXgAyJQFP0T8HZ14zsOIAT6P]
* The [[Miskito people|Miskito]] are an Afro-indigenous ethnic group in Central America, of whom many are mixed race. In the northern end of their territory, the people are primarily of [[Demographics of Africa|African]]-Native American ancestry; others are of mixed African-Native American and English descent. Their territory extends from Cape Camarón, Honduras, to Río Grande de Matagalpa, Nicaragua, along the Mosquito Coast, in the Western Caribbean Zone.<ref>[[Miskito people#cite note-37]]</ref>[https://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu/cultures/sa15/summary]
* The Garifuna are descendants of [[Island Caribs|Carib]], [[Arawaks|Arawak]], and West [[Native ethnic groups of Africa|African]] people. This ethnic group has its origins in a group from St. Vincent islands in the Caribbean, who came in 1797. At the 2001 census 46,448 people were registered as Garifuna, 0.8% of the total population of Honduras.<ref name=":0" /> The Garifuna speak an [[Arawakan language]]. They live along the entire Caribbean coastline of Honduras, and in the Bay Islands.
* The Creole people are descendants of Afro-Caribbean people who arrived originally with the introduction of enslaved Africans brought by the British to Honduras in the 16th and 17th century. Creoles also arrived with the immigration of black workers from Jamaica, Cayman Island, [[Trinidad and Tobago]] and other English-speaking islands, who arrived in the early twentieth century to work in transnational banana companies, workers in the construction of railways, dockworkers and in some cases "scabs", are concentrated mainly in the [[Bay Islands Department|Bay Islands]], especially the [[Roatan Island]] and [[Guanaja]] and Caribbean coastal Honduran cities like [[Puerto Cortes]], [[Tela]] and [[La Ceiba]]. In the 1800s, five years before independence, the Mayor Don Juan Antonio Tomos issued a report of his visit in 1815, in which he indicated 100,000 inhabitants in the cities of [[Puerto Cortés]], San Pedro Sula, Tela, La Ceiba, and 39 curatos and 8 villages of Caribbean blacks from countries like Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Belize, and Haiti. Plus additional inhabitants near Trujillo (estimate does at 10,000) for a total of 110,000 inhabitants. After independence" the population of 1826 (200,000 people) is based on the calculation made by Mr. [[Dionisio de Herrera]], former head of the state of Honduras. By the early 1900s more 300,000 people had came to Honduras to work mainly in the booming banana cultivation and other agricultural sectors.<ref>[[Hondurans#cite note-6]]</ref>[https://www.inmotionaame.org/print.cfm@migration=10.html#:~:text=Though%20the%20working%20class%20and,sugar%20production%20was%20expanding%20rapidly.][https://bibliotecavirtual.clacso.org.ar/ar/libros/lasa98/England-Anderson.pdf]

Examples of well-known Afro-Hondurans are footballers [[David Suazo]], [[Víctor Bernárdez|Victor "Muma" Bernardez]], Dr. Emet Cherefant, and [[Wilson Palacios]].

=== European ===
Honduras of European descent or White Hondurans, along with Afro-descendants and Amerindians belong to the minorities of Honduras. Most of the white population are descendants of the Spanish settlers, who mainly came from southern Spain, and inhabit most of the western part of the country. Other populations include descendants of European immigrants who arrived at the beginning of the 20th century. In 2014, there were about 14,000 [[Italian Hondurans|Hondurans of Italian descent]], while there were around 400 Italian citizens.<ref name="El Heraldo, 2014">{{cite web|url=https://www.elheraldo.hn/pais/575489-214/29-mil-extranjeros-viven-el-sueno-hondureno|publisher=El Heraldo|title=29 mil extranjeros viven el sueño hondureño|date=7 April 2014|access-date=7 March 2021|language=it}}</ref> Percentages of whites varied between 2.1% and 7%,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-21 |title=Honduras {{!}} Map, Population, History, Geography, & Culture {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Honduras |access-date=2024-10-22 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref> due to the fact that the majority of [[Hondurans]] identify themselves as [[mestizo]]s, regardless of their ethnic and racial category.<ref>{{Citation |last=Euraque |first=Darío A. |title=SEXUALIDAD MASCULINA Y HOMOFOBIA EN LA HISTORIA DE HONDURAS |date=2019-06-01 |work=Antología del pensamiento hondureño contemporáneo |pages=293–308 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/j.ctvnp0kc9.17 |access-date=2024-10-22 |publisher=Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales. CLACSO|doi=10.2307/j.ctvnp0kc9.17 |url-access=subscription }}</ref> This makes it more difficult to study the number of people who fit into the white category in Honduras.

The census states that only 89,000 people in Honduras labeled themselves as white, which is equal to around 1% of the total population at the time.<ref>{{Citation |title=Honduras |date=2024-10-28 |work=The World Factbook |url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/honduras/ |access-date=2024-11-17 |publisher=Central Intelligence Agency |language=en}}</ref> Another study has stated that around 210,000 people in Honduras fit this category, which would make the Honduran white population to be around 2.1%.{{cn|date=November 2024}}

However, other studies report that the percentage could rise much more, reaching close to a half a million white people in [[Honduras]], which according to official national sources would make a percentage of between 5% and 6.9% of whites in Hondurans.<ref>Honduras - XVII Censo de Población y VI de Vivienda 2013». Instituto Nacional de Estadística de Honduras. 16 de noviembre de 2015</ref> This is because the majority of whites in Honduras do not identify themselves as Euro-descendants as such, adopting and feeling more identified with the mestizo identity.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Mestizo Mestizo {{!}} Definition & Facts {{!}} Britannica]</ref>

Examples of white Hondurans are ex-president [[Simon Azcona del Hoyo]], pharmacologist [[Salvador Moncada]], film director Juan Carlos Fanconi, politician [[Roberto Micheletti]], General [[Florencio Xatruch]] and former president of the [[Federal Republic of Central America|Central American federation]] Don [[Francisco Morazán]] Quezada.

=== East Asians ===
There is a small [[Overseas Chinese|Chinese]] community in Honduras. A lawyer of the [[Committee for the Defense of Human Rights in Honduras]] (CODEH) stated that the Chinese community in Honduras is rather small. Many of the Chinese are immigrants who arrived from China after the revolution and their descendants.<ref>[http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/topic,4565c22523,4565c25f287,3ae6ad3818,0,,,HND.html].

=== Arabs ===
Honduras hosts a significant [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] community (the vast majority of whom are [[Christian Arabs]]).<ref>[http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200104/the.arabs.of.honduras.htm The Arabs of Honduras] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009182011/http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200104/the.arabs.of.honduras.htm |date=9 October 2014 }}. Larry Luxner. ''Saudi Aramco World.''</ref> These Arab-Hondurans are sometimes called "Turcos", because they arrived in Honduras using Turkish travel documents, as their homeland was then under the control of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. The Palestinians arrived in the country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, establishing themselves especially in the city of San Pedro Sula.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.luxner.com/cgi-bin/view_article.cgi?articleID=639|title=Luxner – Articles|website=www.luxner.com|access-date=20 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060516190901/http://www.luxner.com/cgi-bin/view_article.cgi?articleID=639|archive-date=16 May 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref> As mentioned earlier, they are also considered whites in the country's censuses, in total the Arab-Hondurans make up 3% of the Honduran population.
