Portuguese is the official language of the South American country of Brazil. It therefore is spoken in the Brazilian capital city of Brasilia.
But Brasilia isn't the only South American capital city where the language is spoken. For Portuguese is one of the languages spoken in the Argentine capital city of Buenos Aires. In fact, many Spanish immigrants to Argentina came from Galicia, in northwestern Spain and just across the border from Portugal. Indeed, Galicia is the region of Spain where the Portuguese language originated, from the long-ago interactions between the Latin language of the ancient Romans and the ancient languages of the Iberian Peninsula. And so Galician immigrants tend to know, speak and understand Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Additionally, Buenos Aires is famous for its tango dance, music, and musical lyrics. Some of the most famous tango music draws on the vocabulary of the Lunfardo slang language. And Lunfardo represents a mix of Brazilian Portuguese; dialects from Africa, the Caribbean, and Italy; and English.
