Examples are Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde Islands, East Timor, Guinea-Bissau, Macau, Mozambique, Portugal, and Sao Tome and Principe. There also are countries where Portuguese is spoken, because of compulsory language instruction. Examples are Brazil's neighbors Argentina and Uruguay. And there also are countries where Portuguese is spoken, because of the presence of Portuguese-speaking populations. Examples are Equatorial Africa; Galicia and the areas of Spain bordering Portugal; Mauritius; and Senegal.
