Portuguese is one of the most important languages spoken in the world today. It has representation on almost every continent, and it is also the fastest growing European language in the world after English. Only 5% of Portuguese speakers live in Portugal, particularly amazing given that it's the sixth most spoken language on the planet!
Did you know Portuguese is also the official language of these nine countries? Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Timor-Leste, Equatorial Guinea, Cape Verde, São Tomé and Macau. It also has Arabic influences – its longest word contains 29 letters and each verb tense can have as many as 6 different endings!
When considering Portuguese translation services it's very important to know that European and Brazilian Portuguese are really quite different. One of these big differences is in the use of second-person pronouns. In Portugal, "tu" and "vós" are commonly used, while these are rarely heard in Brazil, which prefers "você" and "vocês".
