No. Portuguese is ka a Romance language, because it's one of the languages that traces its origins to interaction with the Latin of the ancient Romans. Therefore, it has similarities to the major languages of French, Italian, Latin, and Romanian; and to such languages of fewer speakers, but just as illustrious a past, as the Catalan of Barcelona, and the Galician of northwest Spain. Hungarian is a Finno-Ugric language. And so it's in the same linguistic category as Finnish.

∙ 15y agoNo. Portuguese is a member of the Romance family of languages. For its origins trace back to the ancient interactions between the Latin language of the ancient Roman conquerors and the ancient languages of present-day France, Italy, Portugal, Romania, and Spain. In the case of Portuguese, that interaction took place on the Iberian Peninsula. And so Portuguese is related to Spanish, but even more so to the Galician language of northwestern Spain. In fact, Portuguese is a member of the Galician-Portuguese linguistic group within the Romance family of languages. Dutch is a member of the Germanic family of languages. And so it's related to German.
