General information

The Portuguese language (Portuguese português) is a language from the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family and, together with Spanish (the Castilian language), Catalan and other languages of the Iberian Peninsula, forms the narrower unit of Ibero-Romance.

It is spoken by over 240 million native speakers; including second-language speakers, the number of speakers totals around 270 million.

Portuguese is the sole official language in Angola, Brazil, Mozambique, Portugal and São Tomé and Príncipe. Together with other languages, Portuguese is the official language in East Timor (together with Tetum), Macau (together with Chinese) and Equatorial Guinea (together with French and Spanish). In Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau, it is the sole official language, but not the most important language. Portuguese is an important language, but not an official language, in Andorra, Luxembourg (spoken by around ten per cent of the population due to the immigration of Portuguese workers), Namibia and South Africa (source: de.wikipedia.org).
