Portuguese is neither the official nor the main spoken language in any one of the seven Central American countries. For the official language of Belize is English. And Spanish is the official language of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. There may be Portuguese-speaking communities in Central America. But they don't make up anywhere near a major percentage of the total population. As with South America, Central America largely was settled by Spanish speakers from Spain, and later from other nations of Latin America. And this settlement pattern was regulated by the Treaty of Tordesillas, in 1497. For the treaty defined as the Spanish zone of influence the lands to the west of a certain line, and Portuguese to the east. Consequently, Brazil was the only country for which Portugal was legally eligible to settle.
