Portuguese is the language of Portugal, including a large part of the people of its African and
Asiatic territories,and of Brazil. There are also nuclei of Portuguese speakers in the former
Portuguese territories in India and Indonesia and the United States. It is the language of more
than 1 10,000,000 people and is thus one of the principal languages of the world.
There are several dialects and regional variants of Portuguese, as of most other languages.
The most notable differences are found within Portugal and some of its older overseas terri
tories. But the most important differences to the student of the language are those between the
Portuguese of Portugal and its overseas provinces on the one hand and that of Brazil on the
other. The pronunciation of Brazil is in some respects more archaic than that of modem
Portugal, in others more innovative
