Portuguese is the official language of seven countries, among them Portugal and Brazil. It has its roots in Latin and is listed as the most spoken language in South America. Although it originated in the medieval Kingdom of Galicia in the Iberian Peninsula, the language spread quickly during the 15th and 16th centuries, reaching Africa, Asia and the Americas. It became a lingua franca, used by traders, settlers and officials, and has since proven itself a fundamental linguistic link between communities large and small, spanning all the way from Lisbon to Goa, India.
