Portuguese shares the same roots as Spanish, Latin. But so is French, Italian and other minority languages.

Portuguese, Spanish, French and Italian are all similar, but because of Portugal and Spains geographical location, Portuguese and Spanish are closely related mostly in vocabulary, but differ greatly in pronounciation.

Spanish and Portuguese share 85% of vocabulary

Italian and French also 85%

Portuguese and French 80%
