Portuguese (Português) is one of the word’s most important languages, with some 230 million native speakers, ranking 6th position globally. It is spoken mainly in Portugal, Galicia, Angola and Portuguese-speaking South America, especially in Brazil.

Because both Spanish and Portuguese are spoken on the Iberian Peninsula, many erroneously believe that the language is just a dialect of Spanish. Despite sharing similarities this couldn’t be further from the truth. So if you are looking to translate written text or speech into Portuguese, a knowledge of Spanish is not sufficient. You will need a Portuguese linguist.
