Portuguese
Portuguese (português) is a Romance language spoken in various countries, including Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and East Timor. With more than 200 million native speakers, Portuguese is the fifth most popular mother-tongue language in the world, and the second Romance language, outnumbered only by Spanish, and one of the few languages spoken all over the world.
Portuguese is the first language in Angola, Brazil, Portugal and São Tomé and Príncipe. And, it is the most widely used language in Mozambique. Portuguese is also one of the official languages of East Timor (with Tetum) and Macau (with Chinese). It is widely spoken, but not as an official language, in Andorra, Luxembourg and Namibia. Portuguese Creole is the mother tongue of Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau's population.
The majority of the speakers of Portuguese live in four continents: Africa, South America, Asia and Europe. However, still almost two million speakers are found in North America (most in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Antigua and Barbuda). Less than 50 thousand speakers live in Oceania.
