Around 98% of the total population of Portugal speaks Portuguese. Portuguese is the official language of the Republic. It's the country's most widely known, spoken and understood language. But its use isn't universal, because of monolingual speakers of Mirandese, and because of sign language users. Mirandese is spoken in northern Portugal. Mirandese and Portuguese are the only officially recognized languages in the Republic. For Mirandese has the unique, special status of regional language of national importance to the Republic. It's estimated to be spoken by about 12,000 individuals. Of that number, 7,000 are estimated to be bilingual speakers of Mirandese and Portuguese. The remaining 5,000 are monolingual speakers of Mirandese. Around 5,000 individuals out of a total population of over 10 million gives a percentage of 0.005% to Mirandese. The hearing disabled number around 150,000. Not all hearing disabled are deaf. Neither all deaf nor all hearing disabled use the Portuguese Sign Language, which is based on the Swedish Sign Language, and not on the Portuguese language. And so a rough percentage of 1.5%can be offered for Portuguese Sign Language use within the total population. More than half of the Portuguese population is bilingual in another, major European language. The most widely known, spoken and understood of the European languages are English, French, and Spanish. For there are anywhere from 26%-32% of the total Portuguese population that's bilingual in Portuguese and English.
