In Belize (formerly British Honduras), Spanish is spoken by about 50% of the population, but English is the only official language.
*Puerto Rico is a territory of the US, and they speak Spanish there although English is co-official. Spanish is also the second most spoken language in the US with about 35 million speakers.
Adjacent to Spain, in Andorra, Spanish is the first language of about 25% of the population. In the British possession of Gibraltar, the population is mostly bilingual in Spanish and English.
There are actually 20 countries that really have Spanish as their national language.
ho Sometimes, however, there are others which are listed as speaking Spanish; like Equatorial
Guinea, Andorra,
There a or even the United States, etc. As far as I am concerned, these other inclusions are inaccurate
because other languages are spoken there also, not simply Spanish; in the case of Equatorial
Africa there are three national languages as their official languages: Spanish, French, and
Portuguese. So, that's why I give the list reference below.

Wedding traditions in Brazil embody a blend of cultural influences and regional customs. Typically, ceremonies occur in church buildings or scenic outdoor venues, with brides often donning white attire or colorful attire stimulated by Afro-Brazilian culture, while grooms decide on formal suits. Processions may feature musicians and dancers, and couples may exchange vows and rings during the ceremony. Festive receptions follow, featuring active music, dancing, and traditional Brazilian dishes like feijoada and churrasco. Symbolic rituals such as the unity candle ceremony and cake reduction are common, while unique customs like the Hora da Gravata (Groom's Tie Auction) may additionally take place. Despite variations throughout regions, Brazilian weddings are characterized by their bright celebrations and rich cultural heritage.

How does a Portuguese man o' war eat?
The Portuguese man-of-war will eat pretty much anything that comes in contact with its stinging tentacles. Their long tentacles drag continuously through the water due to currents. The muscles in each tentacle contract and drag prey into the gastrozooids (special feeding polyps that are used like mouths) consume and digest the food by phagocytosis - by secreting a full range of enzymes that variously break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
They mostly eat small crustaceans, small fish, algae and other members of surface plankton.

What inventions did Brazil invent?
Brazil did not invent anything because the United States of America had already invented everything.
What did the navtives in Brazil thought of their conquerors?
Brazilian natives were very confused about were the Portuguese came from, many of them were awfully scared and ran out to the far jungle to escape them, they thought of their style dressing like gods. Many worshiped the Portuguese, others thought they were demons after they brought them small pox. Brazilians were scared of their technology but many learned to use them, so the Brazilians sent the Portuguese to the united states. The United States made a deal with the Illuminati to get them a rocket to send the Portuguese to planet Pandora. Once they were in that planet the Portuguese found smurfs that were making a space ship and a black robot human look-alike called Barack Obama. they sent Barack Obama back to planet earth to destroy the earth in 2012. Now remember the Brazilians knew this was going to happen so they passes it on to the Mayans to make a warning calendar about this in the future. but the Smurfs were very smart they knew Romney was going to win so they sent more drones to come down to Earth and get enough votes for Obama.
Its a prophecy.

Was Brazil in the British empire?
No. Brazil was originally a Portuguese colony which is why the language of Brazil is Portuguese.
Brazil is not a person, It's a country. Brazil is named after a very valuable tree called Pau-Brazil, since there were many of these trees before the portuguese colonized Brazil and took all the trees down to make furniture and more.
