The Portuguese-Speaking World
Portuguese is the language of Portugal (including the autonomous regions of the
Azores (Açores in Portuguese spelling), Madeira, and Brazil, as well as the official
language of the Cape Verde Islands (Cabo Verde, where a Portuguese variant,
crioulo, is also spoken). Guinea-Bissau (Guiné-Bissau) São Tomé e Príncipe,
Angola, and Mozambique (Moçambique). It is also still spoken in Goa, Macau,
and East Timor. Some four million Portuguese who have emigrated to various countries
retain their first language. Galician, spoken in northwestern Spain, is
very similar to Portuguese. Altogether, Portuguese is the language of approximately
183,000,000 people. It is the eighth most spoken language and it ranks
third, behind English and Spanish, among European languages used around the
world.
