Portuguese language

Portuguese is a Romance language that evolved from Latin, primarily spoken in Portugal and Brazil, with significant communities in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It is the sixth most spoken language globally, with around 250 million native speakers. Portuguese is known for its rich literature and is the official language of several countries, including Mozambique and Angola. The language has two main dialects: European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, which differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammar. Portuguese culture, music, and cuisine are deeply tied to the language, reflecting a diverse history shaped by exploration and colonization.
