Portuguese is spoken in the African countries of Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. These countries are Portugal's former colonies in Africa. The Portuguese language therefore remains an official language in all five countries.
Additionally, Portuguese is spoken in other African countries. As an example, it has been added as one of the official languages of Equatorial Africa, which isn't a former Portuguese colony. In the way of another example, it's spoken and/or understood by increasing numbers in the Republic of South Africa. And the language always has found speakers among Morocco's multilingual populations and ethnic communities.

Portuguese is known, spoken and understood on all seven continents. Does the spread of Portuguese from Portugal, to the entire world, include even Australia and Antarctica? Yes, it does.

And yet neither Antarctica nor Australia can be described as Portuguese, because they weren't Portuguese colonies or possessions.Portuguese is the official language of Portugal. Yet Portuguese is spoken in European countries other than Portugal. For Portugal joined the European Union. Therefore, since 1985, Portuguese is considered one of the Union languages. So Portuguese now is spoken in such parts of Europe as Andorra, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. And yet not one of these countries, nor any other of Europe, can be said to be Portuguese. For they were never Portuguese colonies or possessions.Portuguese also is the official language of former colonies in Africa, Asia, and South America. Thus, it's the official language of the former African colonies of Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe.

And yet not one of these countries can be described as Portuguese.

Outside of these former colonies and possessions, Portuguese language use in Asia may be considered as taking place in countries that can't be considered Portuguese.In South America, Portuguese is the official language of Brazil. Brazil is the largest country in South America, and Portugal's sole colony on the continent. Yet Portuguese is recognized as one of the nine regional languages of importance to The Co-operative Republic of Guyana, where the official language remains English, from its past as British Guyana.And Portuguese is mandatory learning for schoolchildren in the South American countries of Argentina and Uruguay. For there's heavy traffic back and forth over both countries' borders with Brazil. As other examples in South America, but to far lesser degrees, Portuguese is spoken in countries that border Brazil, such as Bolivia, Paraguay, and Venezuela. In all but five countries of South America, Spanish is the official language. For the Spanish speaking countries were settled under the commands and direction of the Spanish monarchy and the Spanish conquerors.Additionally, there are Portuguese speaking communities in the North American countries of Canada, and the United States of America. But neither may be considered Portuguese. For France, Great Britain, and Spain tended to dominate settlement of the U.S., and France and Great Britain that of Canada.
