Portuguese is a Romance Language that is spoken in Portugal, Brazil, and other Portuguese colonial and formerly colonial territories.
Portuguese is the second Romance language after Spanish in terms of speakers – largely due to its position as the language of Brazil, wherein in the early 21st century some 187 million people spoke.
