If you mean the countries in which Portuguese first was spoken, then there only is one country. For Portugal is the original source of the language. Indeed, the Portuguese language traces back to the long-ago interactions between the Latin language of the ancient Romans and the ancient languages of the Iberian Peninsula. And so the Portuguese language is native only to the Iberian Peninsular, and most particularly to Portugal.If you mean the countries in which Portuguese is the first language that people know, speak and understand, then there are native speakers of Portuguese wherever there are Portuguese speaking communities in the world. Indeed, there are Portuguese speakers on every continent, including the Portuguese-speaking scientific presence in Antarctica.If you mean the countries in which Portuguese is the first and foremost language important to the country's operation and survival, then the answer includes those countries in which Portuguese is the official language.

It has become an official language, along with Spanish and French, in Equatorial Guinea. And the Portuguese speaking population is substantial enough in Mauritius and Senegal for both countries to be admitted into the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries in the World.In Asia, Portuguese is the official language, along with Chinese in Macau; and along with Tetum in East Timor.And in South America, Portuguese is the official language of the former Portuguese colony of Brazil. Additionally, it's one of the nine recognized regional languages of importance to the neighboring Co-operative Republic of Guyana, where the official language is English. And it's a required subject for schoolchildren in Argentina and Uruguay, what with the heavy traffic back and forth over their borders with Brazil.
