In what South American country would you find a Portuguese speaking population?

Answer 1

The South American country in which you find the largest Portuguese speaking population is Brazil. For Brazil is a former colony of Portugal. And Portuguese is the country's official language, and the language most widely known, spoken and understood throughout the country. There also are smaller Portuguese speaking populations in South America, particularly in the countries that border Brazil. For example, Portuguese is recognized as one of the nine regional languages of importance to The Co-operative Republic of Guyana, where English remains the official language. And Portuguese is a required subject for schoolchildren in Argentina and Uruguay. For there's heavy traffic back and forth over both countries' borders with Brazil. And there also are much much smaller Portuguese speaking populations in the South American countries of Bolivia, French Guiana, Paraguay, Suriname, and Venezuela.

Answer 2

The greatest number of Portuguese speakers is found in the South American country of Brazil. For Brazil is one of the former colonies of Portugal. And Portuguese is the country's official language. Other South American countries include Portuguese speakers within their borders. But not one of them does so to the extent that Brazil does. For example, the nearby South American country of The Co-operative Republic of Guyana includes Portuguese among its nine recognized regional languages of importance. But the Republic's official language is English. And the nearby South American countries of Argentina and Uruguay make Portuguese a required subject of schoolchildren. But the official language of both countries is Spanish.
