Wikipedia: Portuguese language
Portuguese (português or, in full, língua portuguesa) is a Romance language originating in the Iberian Peninsula of Europe. It is the sole official language of Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe, while having co-official language status in East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Macau. A Portuguese-speaking person or nation is referred to as “Lusophone” (Lusófono). As the result of expansion during colonial times, a cultural presence of Portuguese and Portuguese creole speakers are also found around the world. Portuguese is part of the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several dialects of Vulgar Latin in the medieval Kingdom of Galicia and the County of Portugal, and has kept some Celtic phonology and lexicon.

Porktuguese is like the other Romance Languages, except that it evolved from pig Latin.
