Did you Know? World’s Largest Portuguese-Speaking Nation
Because Brazil is a Latin American nation, travellers sometimes think that the majority of the population speaks Spanish. It is Portuguese, not Spanish, that is the official and most frequently spoken language in the country. Because of its 300-year relationship with Portugal, Brazil is the world's largest Portuguese-speaking country. Until the early nineteenth century, Brazil was a Portuguese colony.
