Professional Portuguese translation services from Lingovo
Portuguese is spoken around the world. With around 250 million native speakers, Portuguese is an official language on several continents and belongs to the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family. It is the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Angola and Mozambique, among other countries, and is also spoken in Goa, Daman and Diu in India, in Timor-Leste and in Macau in China. In Macau, Portuguese remains an official language alongside Chinese, and Portuguese-language signs and menus are still common. Many of Asia’s creole languages have their origins in Portuguese.
Like all Romance languages, Portuguese developed from Latin. The language emerged in what is now Galicia, in north-west Spain, and northern Portugal before spreading across modern-day Portugal. Of the Romance languages, Portuguese is most similar to Spanish. Despite differences in grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary, speakers of Portuguese and Spanish can often understand one another.
Brazilian Portuguese is a distinct variety, with its own vocabulary, pronunciation and grammatical features. The differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese are often compared with those between British and American English.
