Portuguese is the official language of the southwest European country of Portugal. And it's the official language of former colonies of Portugal in Africa, Asia, and South America. In Africa, the countries that are former colonies, and in which Portuguese is the official language, are Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe. In addition, it now shares official language status, with Spanish and French, in Equatorial Guinea. In Asia, Portuguese shares official language status with Chinese, in Macau; and with Tetum, in East Timor. In South American country of Brazil, Portuguese is the only official language, except in the municipality of Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira. Sao Gabriel is located in Cabeca do Cachorro, within the northwestern part of Amazonas state, on Brazil's borders with Colombia and Venezuela. It's only in Sao Gabriel that Portuguese shares official language status with Nheengatu, which is an Amerindian language within the Tupi-Guarani subfamily. And so Portuguese isn't an official language in any city that isn't located within the borders of Portugal; of Angola, Cape Verde Islands, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and Sao Tome and Principe; of Brazil; or of East Timor and Macau.
