Portuguese is the official language of the southwest European country of Portugal. From this maritime nation in the western part of the Iberian Peninsula, the language spread throughout the world. And Portugal became the mother country to colonies in Africa, Asia, and South America. Even with independence, Portuguese remains the official language of ten countries, including Portugal. In Africa, Portuguese is the official language of Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Guineau-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. Additionally, it now shares official language status, with Spanish and French, in Equatorial Guinea. In Asia, Portuguese shares official language status with Tetum, in East Timor; and with Chinese, in Macau. In the South American country of Brazil, Portuguese is the only official language, with one exception. The municipality of Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira is located in Cabeca do Cachorro, in the northwestern part of Amazonas state, on the Brazilian border with Colombia and Venezuela. Only in Sao Gabriel does Portuguese share official language status with Nheengatu, which is an Amerindian language within the Tupi-Guarani subfamily. And so Portuguese isn't the official language anywhere other than in the ten countries of Portugal; of Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Equatorial Guinea, Guineau-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe; of Brazil; and of East Timor and Macau.
