What kind of writings do you find in Portuguese?

Answer 1

All kinds of writing may be found in the Portuguese language. For the Portuguese language has been used for technological, scientific, political, musical, literary, cultural, culinary and artistic purposes. For example, Portuguese navigators were the first Europeans known to sail down and around Africa, to the Indian ocean, and on to India. They spearheaded the spread of their language to its ultimate, present-day use on all seven continents. And so Portuguese even is spoken on Antarctica, because of the Brazilian scientific presence. As another example, Portugal and the former Portuguese colonies have distinctive musical, literary, cultural and artistic traditions. The respective fado and samba musical expressions of Portugal and Brazil have won worldwide appreciation and respect. In both, the lyrics are every bit as important as the music, and the associated dances. And as another example, Portugal and the former Portuguese colonies have sometimes distinctive, sometimes similar culinary traditions. For fish dishes are a hallmark of peninsular cooking. As the inhabitants of a seafaring nation, the Portuguese are the experts in handling, preparing and serving fish. And their bean-filled feijoada finds strong competition from Brazilians, and a sure place of the menus of Portuguese cuisines worldwide.
