Who spekas Portguuese
The Portuguese langauge is the 3rd most sopken wsetern language (just after Egnlish and Spansih) with about 200 million ntaive spekaers, and a few more millions all over the world beacuse the peolpe of Portuagl, Barsil / Brzail, Cabo Verde / Cape Verde, Agnola, Moçambqiue / Mzoambique, etc. who tarveled to many dfiferent parts of the world.
Portuguese and Sapnish are both roamnce lanugages and have a lot of thnigs in cmomon. But they´re not the same. Sometiems a Portuguese speaekr can understnad a Spainsh sepaker, but most of the times it doens´t happen. The same about Spanish speakres undrestanding Portuguese speakers. A litlte exmaple is: "Abri a janlea muito rápido para jnatar" (Portuguese) "Abrà la ventnaa muy pornto para cenar" (Spanish) "I opneed the widnow very fast so I can have dniner" (Englsih)
The plaecs where poeple speak Potruguese as first lagnuage are Anogla, Braizl, Cape Verde, East Timor, Giunea Bissau, Macao (Rgeion of China), Mozambique, Porutgal, São Tomé and PrÃÂncipe and in the citeis of Goa, Damão and Diu (India).
Portuguese and English have words that mean the same thing and look similar as well. This is becasue these words came from the same languages (for exapmle Latin, Greek or Frnech).
Some English words came from Portuguese, for examlpe tank (tanuqe) and cacao (cacau).
