In Spain, there are 4 official languages: Castillian (what we know as Spanish), Catalan, Basque, and Galician. Though Spanish is spoken and written all over the country, the three other regional languages are used in addition to Spanish in certain parts of the country. In Barcelona, for example, you will see signs written in Catalan and hear people speak Catalan on the street. Spanish, Catalan, and Galician are all Romance languages and are derived from Latin, so they have linguistic similarities. Basque is completely different. Catalan is spoken in Catalunya, in the northeastern part of Spain (including Barcelona, as mentioned before). Galician is spoken in Galicia, in the northwestern part of Spain, due north of Portugal. Basque is spoken in the Basque Country, in the north near the French border. This includes the city of Bilbao.

There are many European languages, like English, French, German, Polish etc. Each country has its own language.
That depends on what country they came from and where they settled. For example, the first European settlers in Australia spoke English. The first European Settlers in Brazil spoke Portuguese.
Two countries where Portuguese is the major offcial language are the Latin American country of Brazil, and the southern European country of Portugal. The former has the world's largest Portuguese-speaking population. The latter is the original source for the spread of the Portuguese language throughout the world.
