What African country has Portuguese as its official language?
The discovery of Brazil by Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral, on April 22, 1500, resulted in the country's three century status as a colony of Portugal. Brazil declared independence from the mother country on September 9, 1822. And Portugal finally recognized that claim to independence on August 29, 1825. The national identity of Brazilians has been created from the melting pot of influences from pre-Portuguese cultures; and by immigrants from Africa, Latin and North America, Asia, and Europe. But the historically predominant force always has traced back to Portugal. Perhaps one of the clearest, most telling evidences of that influence is just the very fact of the official language status that Portuguese holds in the country.
