Today, as many as 210 million people throughout the world speak Portuguese as their native language. Portuguese is the eighth most spoken language in the world (third most spoken western European language after English and Spanish) and is the official language of seven countries:

Angola (10.3 million)
Brazil (184 million)
Cabo Verde (346,000)
Guinea-Bissau (1 million)
Mozambique (15.3 million)
Portugal (10.1 million)
São Tomé and the Príncipe Islands (126,000)
Asia and Oceania

In 1986, Portuguese became one of the official languages of the European Union (EU) when Portugal was admitted to the organization. As a result of the Mercosul agreements that created the Southern Latin American Common Market (which includes Brazil), Portuguese is being taught as a foreign language in the other Mercosul member countries.

In the non-contiguous areas of the world where Portuguese is spoken, there are significant differences in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and the use of idiomatic expressions. Although these differences are often profound, they are not sufficient to challenge the fundamentally basic structure of the language. Despite its history, diffusion and diversity, Portuguese continues to maintain considerable cohesion around the world.
