Approximately 200,000,000 people worldwide speak Portuguese. The largest numbers of Portuguese speakers are found in Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and the United States. Over the years, writers working in Portuguese have made major contributions to world literature. Students will find that mastery of a Romance language (e.g., Spanish, French, Italian) will facilitate development of proficiency in Portuguese.
