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.
