Where would you expect Portuguese to be the official language?
I would expect Portuguese to be the official language in the southwest European country of Portugal; and in former Portuguese colonies in Africa, Asia, and South America. Portugal is one of my choices, because the country is the native homeland of the Portuguese language. For Portuguese is one of the Romance languages along with French, Italian, Romanian, and Spanish. And so its origins trace back to the long-ago interactions between the Latin language of Rome, and the ancient languages of the areas that the ancient Romans conquered. In the specific case of Portuguese, that interaction took place in the Iberian Peninsula. Former Portuguese colonies is another of my choices, because the mother country controlled the cultural, linguistic and politico-economic interactions of the colony as much as possible. Often, the mother country was able to profit from pre-existing rivalries within the colony to achieve cultural, linguistic and politico-economic dominance. And it was easier to keep communication in one language, for the recordkeeping of the mother country, and in the colony. And such is indeed the case with former Portuguese colonies. For Portuguese is the official language in the former African colonies of Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. Such also is true of the former South American colony of Brazil. And such also is true of former Asian colonies. But, in Asia, Portuguese shares official language status with Chinese, in Macau; and with Tetum, in East Timor.
