Best Answer

Yes. Portuguese is the official language in the former colonies of Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. Additionally, there are substantial Portuguese-speaking populations in the African countries of Equatorial Africa, Mauritius, and Senegal. And then there are countries such as Morocco, where Portuguese is known, because of the nearness to the Iberian Peninsula; and countries such as South Africa, where the Portuguese-speaking populations are on the rise.
