Portuguese language is not easy, with its millions of verbs and its sometimes simple and sometimes Byzantine ways to construct phrases and verbal agreements - just like ourselves.
Just like all of us in this world of numerous languages and points of view. Portuguese language is spoken on all continents in diverse ways, and this explains its energy. I think it is important, however, that we reach an orthographic harmony, which will make it easier for books to move in all Portuguese-speaking territories. Portuguese has both nasal vowels and reduced vowels. Nearly everyone struggles to learn them properly (except, maybe, for fluent French speakers, but even they will have an accent).
Portuguese was developed in the Western Iberian Peninsula from the spoken Latin language brought there by Roman soldiers and colonists starting in the 3rd century BC. The language began to distinguish itself from other Romance languages after the fall of the Roman Empire and the barbarian invasions in the 5th century.
Portuguese poetry in the 15th century was marked by the influence of Spain, which can be seen in Garcia de Resende's collection, Cancioneiro geral (1516). Portuguese is spoken by nearly 100 percent of the inhabitants in Brazil. There is about as much distinction between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and that spoken in Portugal as between the English spoken in the United States. Portuguese is a Romance language that originated in Spain over 2000 years ago and broaden around the world over 500 years ago. Today, it is spoken by over 200 million people and it is the language with the largest number of speakers in South America.
Portuguese and Spanish are both romance languages and have a lot of things in familiar. But they're not the same. Portuguese is more significant than French today and Portuguese will be more important than French in the future.
Portugal was lucky to have kings who recognized the kingdom's dependency on overseas trade and assisted in its expansion in every possible way. The solidity of the monarchy was essential to the establishment of sustainable economic growth, thus the stability of the Portuguese monarchy gave the kingdom a seventy-year head start over the Spanish who were distracted by a civil war and the Reconquista of Granada. The earliest records of a noticeably Portuguese language appear in administrative documents dating from the 9th century AD.
Brazilian Portuguese has some vocabulary, accent and syntax differences with the Portuguese idiom spoken in the Iberian Peninsula. But this doesn't preclude understanding among both speaking groups. Brazilian Portuguese also makes use of the dieresis mark. Digraphs and accented letters are not counted as special characters for collation purposes. Brazil is also the tenth-largest economy in the world. Among its many natural wonders, are the world's most vast rain forest, and a beautiful Atlantic coastline.
