After living and working for an American multinational company in São Paulo, Brazil for just over 20 years, I can say that nobody and I mean almost nobody speaks Spanish . . . Therefore, after Portuguese, the most spoken language must be English and even then, English is not spoken too widely! David
Portuguese is both the main spoken and the official language of the South American country of Brazil. But it isn't the only official language on a countrywide basis. For that status is shared with Nheengatu, in the country's far northwest, where Brazil borders Colombia and Venezuela. Nheengatu belongs to the Tupi-Guarani family of indigenous languages of South America.
In fact, in the 18th century, it was more widely known, spoken and understood in the colony than Portuguese. And nowadays it's one of 180 known Amerindian languages in Brazil. But not one of the other Amerindian languages has anywhere near the historical or current numbers of speakers of Nheengatu.
Additionally, Brazil is a country of immigrants from the rest of the Americas; and from Africa, Asia, Australia, and Europe. Some of the original languages are lost with the youngest descendants of such immigrants. In other cases, the descendants are bilingual in Portuguese and in the original languages of their ancestors.
For example, there are families where Portuguese is spoken outside the home; and French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Russian or Spanish is spoken inside. In fact, just about any language - be it one of the many African or Asian languages - finds a speaker who is a native, or the descendant of a native, in Brazil.

The vast majority of Brazilians speak in Portuguese, which is the country's official language. Portuguese is categorized as a Romance type of language. For it traces its origins back to the long-ago interactions between the Latin language of the ancient Roman conquerors and the ancient languages of Iberia. From its location on the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal spread its language throughout the world, through colonization of countries in Africa, the Americas, and Asia. In the course of its successful transplant and naturalization outside of Portugal, the language underwent changes in each country that it became the means of communication. And one such place where these changes took place was in Brazil, as a former colony of Portugal. For example, Brazilian Portuguese shows the influence of its interaction with indigenouslanguages, such as Tupi; with other imported languages, such as those of Africa; and with the countries of South America, in which the official language is Spanish. And so Brazilian Portuguese may be typed as a Romance language. But it's a Romance language that reflects the new influences of African and American languages, and the continued influence of other languages of its native Iberia, such as Spanish.

And Nheengatu has that status only in the city of Sao Gabriel de Cachoeira, which is a municipality in Cabeca do Cachorro, in the northwestern Brazilian state of Amazonas. Otherwise, Brazil is a melting pot of the world's cultures, ethicities and languages.
