Portuguese, Spanish, and English are languages number eight, four, and three respectively in number of native speakers. Portugese has 175 native speakers. Spanish has 350-400 million native speakers. English has 500 million native speakers. So, total, they have 1.025 billion native speakers. Assuming a world population of 6.7 billion (20 million higher than an August 14th estimate.) So, together about 15.3% of the population have one of those three as a native language. And I think that it's worth mentioning that the Chinese dialects have more speakers than those three combined. So, if you master their script, and speak those three languages, you could communicate with 30%+ of the world (+ because have these as second languages with various levels of fluency, which is why they are not counted in those figures.)
35-40% (opinion) People that speak Portuguese can understand Spanish MUCH more easily than people that speak Spanish and try to understand Port.
Portuguese
Portuguese is the official, and the most widely spoken, language in the Republic of Portugal. Its use must be around 98%. What keeps the Portuguese language from representing 100% of the population are monolingual speakers of Mirandese, and users of the Portuguese Sign Language. Mirandese has the special, government recognized status of regional language of national importance to the Republic. It's spoken in northern Portugal by an estimated total of 12,000 speakers. Of that number, 7,000 are estimated to be bilingual speakers of Mirandese and Portuguese. The remaining 5,000 are monolingual speakers, who represent 1/200 of 1%, or 0.005%, of the total Portuguese population. The hearing disabled number around 150,000 out of the total Portuguese population of over 10 million. There's no estimate on the number of disabled who are deaf. Not all of the hearing disabled, and not even all of the deaf, sign. But a percentage based on the total hearing disabled is 1.5%. Over half of the Portuguese population is bilingual in Portuguese and another, major language that isn't native to the Republic. The top three languages in that category are English, French, and Spanish. Anywhere from 26%-32% of the population speaks Portuguese and English. Another 24% speaks Portuguese and French. And yet another 9% speaks Portuguese and Spanish.

Most people dont speak english. But it makes no sense Brazil was founded by Portugal, and as such has the national language of Portugese. What percentage speak Spanish is a hard thing to research for English speaking people. But there must be a strong percentage since almost every country that boarders Brazil is Spanish speaking. Note there is one that has the national language of French. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Its our Official and NATIONAL Language, we never speak English here, Only Portuguese, we learn English and Spanish at school though, some people might do French... Not many speak English here, we speak Portuguese of course, not Spanish, its an insult if you speak spanish here. But the spanish speaking Population is 6.5%. English is like 3%.

1. Spanish 2. Portuguese 3. English 4. French 5. Dutch You may see Spanish and Portuguese switch positions from different sources because the two are fairly close as it is basically Brazil (Portuguese) versus the rest of the continent (mainly Spanish). However, Brazil accounts for about 48% of the population, which means Spanish is spoken by about 52% of the continent's population, beating Portuguese for position number one.
