Portuguese is the official language of Brazil. While other languages exist, particularly some indigenous languages in the rural Amazon regions, virtually 100% of Brazilians speak Portuguese. Sometimes the term "Brazilian Portuguese" is used to differentiate the Brazilian dialect from the European and African varieties in the same way that the terms "American English" and "British English" are used.

Brazil is the fifth largest economy in the world and that gives them a lot of clout.Even though the government of Portugal signed the agreement implementing Brazilian Portuguese as the standard, the Portuguese people are uneasy about this decision. It is hard for them to come to terms with it.No, the official version of the Portuguese language is the Portuguese spoken in Portugal.
