The line of demarcation determined by the Treaty of Tordesillas 1494 and amended by the Treaty of Zaragoza 1529 established which parts of the New World would be under Spanish and which under Portuguese rule. Clearly the geographical demarcation also established where the relevant languages would principally be spoken.
