Brazil speaks Portuguese because it was colonized by Portugal.

Under the division agreed in the Treaty of Tordesillas, Spain colonized most of the rest of Central and South America.

Because we were colonized by the Portuguese who, guess what, speak Portuguese.
Most of Latin America speaks Spanish because it was colonised by Spain back in the 1600s. Brazil was colonised by the Portuguese, so thats then official language they speak there.

Portuguese is the official language of Brazil because it was colonized by the Portuguese.
Brazil has Portuguese as its official language, because the country was a former colony of Portugal. For three centuries, all official communication was in the Imperial language. Portugal controlled the developing export-import structure of colonial trade. And settlement of the vast country was carried out by Portuguese speakers.
Because Brazil was Portuguese colony.
because the portuguese found

brazil and ruled it for over 100 years
Portuguese is the main language in Brazil because Portugal actively defended its claim and colonized it, bringing the Portuguese language.
Because Brazil was colonyzed by Portugal.

Brazil was colonised by Portugal, therefore the official and only language is Portuguese


Because Brazil was Portugal's colonia e not Spanish I'm Brazilian and for me that question is very simple, the Brazilian country was discovery by 'Pedro Alvarez Cabral', and , of course, is Portuguese. The rest of America Latina (Latin America) was taken(?) control by Spanish people, so us in Brazil speak Portuguese and the rest of the region speak Spanish. For more explanation you could see in Wikipedia the history of Brazil.
Brazil was colonised by the Portuguese who introduced their language as a national language. Before this Brazil was divided into hundreds of small nations and tribal areas each with their own language.
Because Brazil was Portuguese Colony
Portugal Colony
Brazilians speak the Brazilian dialect of the Portuguese language, because we were colonized by the Portuguese.
Because in 1494 , the Pope in order to avoid war decided to separate Sout America through an imaginary line which is what roughly were Brazil sits today. Every land to the West of that line was given to Spain , all lands to the east were given to Portugal. This is known as the Treaty of Tordesillas.
The Brazilians speak Portuguese while the rest of South America speak Spanish because Brazil was a colony of Portugal.
Because Brazil was discovered by Portugal whose language is the Portuguese, and the other countries were mostly colonized by Spain.
To sum up, Brazil was conquered and colonized by Portugal. Because of Napoleon Bonaparte's war, in 1808, the Portugal kingdom had been transferred to Brazil, so the portuguese emperors never allowed the division of Brazil in multiple little countries. The other countries were colonized by Spain.
Because the area was colonized by (get this) Portugal.
Brazil was a Portuguese colony thanks to a nifty deal the Portuguese and Spanish struck right at the beginning of the run to colonize North and South America that Portugal would get everything east of a certain line of latitude, and Spain would get everything to the west (they thought the new continent was going to be a skinny little strip of land). It turned out that there was a whole lot more to the west than to the east of the line, but what was to the east of it (roughly, since there were several wars in the meantime) became Brazil.

Because the Portuguese(from Portugal) colonized Brazil.Just like the English colonized America, and that's why we speak Enlgish.
