Portuguese is popular on all continents
Portuguese is one of the most widely used languages in the world. Today, it’s one of the top ten languages according to the number of speakers. It’s estimated that 220 to 235 million people around the world speak Portuguese. It’s an official language in 10 countries on four continents: in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.
To find out why Portuguese is so wide-spread, we need to look back in history. Since Portugal is a coastal country it undertook many sea voyages. During these voyages, trading venues were established on strategically significant routes all around the world.
Mixture of Latin and Arabic
The Portuguese language has been evolving on the Iberian Peninsula since the 3rd century and its current form originated around the 15th century. Portuguese stemmed from Vulgar Latin, the spoken form of Latin used mainly by Roman soldiers and ordinary people.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, Portuguese started to evolve from the Pre-Roman languages. Because of the Moors, who controlled the territory of Portugal between the 8th and the 15th century, the evolution of Portuguese was also significantly influenced by Arabic.
Portuguese is an Indo-European language belonging to the group of Romance languages. In 2009, its alphabet, which consisted of 26 letters, acquired three new letters that hadn’t been used before: k, y and w. They were introduced because of loan words from English.
Portuguese doesn’t have a single grammatical case and omits pronouns. As for typology, it’s an inflectional language. The Portuguese language features several hundred dialects and Creole languages. One of these, the Galician dialect, is considered an independent language and is spoken in Spain.
