There are ten that are considered Portuguese-speaking nations. And there are many more where Portuguese numbers among the spoken languages. For there are countries where Portuguese is spoken, because of its status as the official language. 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 the presence of substantial numbers of speakers of the language within a country's borders. Examples include Equatorial Africa, Mauritius, and Senegal. And there also are countries where Portuguese is spoken, because of nearness to a Portuguese-speaking country. Examples include Argentina and Uruguay, where Portuguese language learning is a compulsory subject for schoolchildren; The Co-operative Republic of Guyana; Morocco; South Africa; and Spain.
