The Portuguese language comes from Portugal, which is one of the two countries of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. The language represents the historical interaction between the Latin language of the ancient Romans and the ancient languages of the Iberian Peninsula. Spanish, which is the other main language that's spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, is older than Portuguese. But both languages spread throughout the entire world, because of the seafaring expeditions of the 15th century Portuguese and Spanish navigators and explorers.
