While Portuguese doesn't have the same international prominence as English or French, it is spoken in a fairly substantial number of countries.
EUROPE
Andorra: Portuguese is one of the languages spoken in Andorra, a small nation in southern Europe. About ten percent of Andorra's population is Portuguese.
Gibraltar: Some of Gibraltar's small population (about 28,000 people) speaks this language, although the official language is English.
Portugal: Located in southern Europe, bordering Spain and along the Atlantic Ocean. During its period of colonialism, it spread Portuguese to several other nations, mostly in Africa.
WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Brazil: A former Portuguese colony, Brazil is Latin America's largest nation. Other languages of European origin are also spoken there.
Bermuda: Some residents of Bermuda, a small Atlantic island in North America, speak this language.
AFRICA
Angola: Another former Portuguese colony, Angola is located in southwestern Africa. Native languages are also spoken there.
Cape Verde: A group of islands off the west coast of Africa, in the Atlantic Ocean.
Mozambique: Portuguese is Mozambique's official language, but the majority of its people speak other non-European languages.
Guinea-Bissau: Portuguese is the official language of Guinea-Bissau, a former colony of Portugal located in western Africa. Native African languages are also spoken there. Guinea-Bissau should not be confused with the larger neighboring country of Guinea (a.k.a. Guinea-Conakry), where French is spoken.
Sao Tome & Principe: Like Cape Verde, a group of islands near western Africa. Portuguese is the official language.
ASIA
East Timor: One of Portugal's more distant former colonies, East Timor has Portuguese as one of its official languages. However, many other native and European languages are spoken as well.
