Portuguese and Spanish are categorized as Romance languages. For both have their origins in the long ago interaction between the Latin language of the ancient Romans and the ancient languages of the Iberian Peninsula. The languages therefore are related linguistically, and their speakers geographically are next-door neighbors. And so Portuguese and Spanish may have similar, if not identical, words within their respective vocabularies. One such example is the word 'semana'. The English equivalent of this Portuguese and Spanish word is week.
