Brazil is the only South American country in which Portuguese is the official language, and the country's most widely known, spoken and understood language. But Brazil isn't the only country where Portuguese is spoken on the continent. For example, Portuguese is recognized as one of the nine regional languages of importance to The Co-operative Republic of Guyana, where English is the official language. Portuguese also is a required subject for schoolchildren in Argentina and Uruguay. For there's heavy traffic back and forth over both countries' borders with Brazil. And Portuguese is one of the spoken languages of the Argentine capital city of Buenos Aires, and of the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo. For Spanish immigrants to both countries include natives of the northwestern Spanish province of Galicia. Galicia is just across the border from Portugal. And so Galicians may be trilingual in Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish. Additionally, and in far lesser degrees, Portuguese speakers may be found in the neighboring countries of Bolivia, French Guiana, Paraguay, Suriname, and Venezuela.
