What are the two types of Portuguese language?

The two main types of Portuguese in terms of language learning are Brazilian Portuguese and Peninsular Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese is spoken in Brazil, which is a former colony of Portugal, and the largest country in South America. About five centuries ago, Brazilian Portuguese originated in the peninsular type of Portuguese that was spoken by the Portuguese colonizers of Brazil. But over time, Brazilian Portuguese has changed, under the influence of indigenous languages, such as those in the Tupi-Guarani subfamily of Amerindian languages; and of immigrant languages, such as those of Africa, Asia, and Europe.


Is Brazilian Portuguese much different from Portuguese spoken around the world?

The difference is something like American English to British English. The reason Brazilians tend to have more difficulty with European Portuguese, is because we do not get exposed to their accents. Ever... It's rare for a Brazilian to hear the European version of our language. But the Portuguese get bombarded with Brazilian media, such as music, tv shows.

"Porta-te bem" - informal portugal's portuguese "Porte-se bem" Formal portugal's portuguese / Brazilian portuguese


Why do the Portuguese speakers worldwide refer more to Brazilian Portuguese that to European Portuguese?

Brazil is the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world with a population of over 200 million people, compared to Portugal's population of around 10 million. Additionally, Brazilian Portuguese has a strong cultural influence globally through music, TV shows, and movies, which has led to its prominence in the Portuguese-speaking community.


Why is Brazilian Portuguese now the definitive version of the language over European Portuguese?

There was an agreement made among all the Portuguese speaking nations that in order to keep the language homogeneous they would implement a definitive version or standard of the language. It was decided that the Brazilian Portuguese would be the standard because Brazil is the largest and most populated of those countries. In other words, most people who speak Portuguese, speak Brazilian Portuguese anyway.Also, it had to do with power. Of all those nations, Brazil is the most powerful and richest country. Brazil is the fifth largest economy in the world and that gives them a lot of clout.Even though the government of Portugal signed the agreement implementing Brazilian Portuguese as the standard, the Portuguese people are uneasy about this decision. It is hard for them to come to terms with it.No, the official version of the Portuguese language is the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. Brazilian Portuguese is the official version in Brazil, but for the rest of the world, it is valid the Portugal language, which means the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. Being the 6th economy in the world nothing represents in terms of language. The official english language is that spoken in England, although the USA is economically much more bigger than England.
