The Baka, also known as Bebayaka, Bebayaga, Bibaya, or Babinga, are anethnic group inhabiting the southeastern rain forests of Cameroon, northern Congo (Brazzaville), northern Gabon, and southwestern Central African Republic. Likewise, the name "Baka" is sometimes mistakenly applied to other area peoples who, like the Baka and Twa, have been historically called pygmies (the term is no longer considered respectful). The Baka's exact numbers are difficult to determine, but estimates range from 5,000 to 28,000 individuals. Unlike most other Central African pygmy groups, the Baka maintain a unique language, also called Baka.
De Pygmeeën zijn een volk dat verspreid over het westen en midden van Afrika, van Sierra Leone en Kameroen tot in de Congo leeft. Van de Baka's leven er waarschijnlijk nog tussen de 5,000 en 28,000. Het woord "pygmee" is afgeleid van het Griekse "pygmaios", "zo groot als een vuist". De oudste vermeldingen van Pygmeeën komen voor bij de Egyptenaren rond 2500 v.Chr. Ze waren er bekend om hun dansen.
