Portuguese language is the national language of both Portugal and Brazil. With about 10 million speakers in the former and some 160 million in the latter, coupled with speakers in Portuguese colonies in Africa, in the Atlantic, and in Asia, its total number of speakers is over 170 million.

Portuguese is a Romance language, closely related to, and yet distinctly different from, Spanish. It is softer and less emphatic than Spanish, with a greater variety of vowel sounds, and contains a number of nasal sounds that are completely unknown in Spanish. Words beginning with h in Spanish frequently begin with f in Portuguese.

The Portuguese of Brazil is slower and more measured than that of Portugal, but the Brazilians and Portuguese communicate with each other without the slightest difficulty. As in British and American English there are occasional differences in vocabulary.

The Portuguese nasal vowels are indicated by the letters ã and õ .

Portuguese is spoken/used in the following countries:

Angola, Azores (Portugal), Brazil, Canada, Cape Verde (Republic of), Guinea Bissau, Macao (Portuguese), Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome & Principe, United States of America.
