- The Lebanese people are an ethnic group or nation of Levantine people originating in what is today the country of Lebanon, including those who had inhabited Mount Lebanon prior to the creation of the modern Lebanese state. The cultural and linguistic heritage of the Lebanese people is a rich blend of both indigenous elements and the foreign cultures that have come to rule the land and its people over the course of thousands of years. The Lebanese have traditionally spoken only languages of the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic family throughout their history, starting with Phoenician, a Canaanite language most closely related to Hebrew and spoken by the earliest known inhabitants of what is today Lebanon; the Phoenicians. Phoenicia would see its land and people pass through several waves of foreign rulers, at least two of which would radically transform the cultural, linguistic and religious landscape of the country, as well as the identity of the people; Aramization, and centuries later, Arabization. One curious fact about the Lebanese people is that most of them do not live in Lebanon. As with their predecessors, the Lebanese have always travelled the world, many of them settling permanently, most notably in the last two centuries. Today, there are approximately 4 million people in Lebanon and an estimated 15 million people of Lebanese descent elsewhere in the world, the majority of them in Brazil. Religiously, Lebanese Christians comprise the overwhelming majority of Lebanese people worldwide, according to some estimates, outnumbering Lebanese Muslims at a 3:1 ratio, and concentrated principally in the diaspora. Reduced in numbers and estimated to have lost their status as a majority in Lebanon itself, largely as a result of their emigration, Christians still remain one of the principal religious groups in the country.
- O povo libanês é um conjunto de pessoas originárias do que é hoje o país do Líbano, incluindo aqueles que tinham habitado Monte Líbano antes da criação do moderno Estado libanês. O patrimônio cultural e lingüístico do povo libanês é uma rica mistura de ambos os indígenas e as culturas estrangeiras que têm vindo a dominar a terra e seu povo ao longo de milhares de anos. Um facto curioso sobre o povo libanês é que as maiorias deles não vivem no Líbano. Tal como acontece com os seus antecessores, os libaneses sempre viajam o mundo, muitos deles resolveram definitivamente, mais notavelmente nos últimos dois séculos. Hoje, há cerca de 4 milhões de pessoas no Líbano e um número estimado de 15 milhões de pessoas de ascendência libanesa no mundo, a maioria delas no Brasil.
