Brazilian Portuguese is the language of Brazil. Roman Catholicism is the religion. But in both cases, Brazil is a melting pot of cultures and languages. Just about any language spoken and any religion worshipped in the world may find speakers and followers in South America's largest country.
Portuguese is Brazil's official language. The majority religion is Roman Catholicism. Specifically, according to the 2000 census, around 74 percent of the population [over 125 million] are Roman Catholics.
But in terms of other languages, in 2003 Nheengatu, an indigenous South American language, was granted co-official status with Portuguese in the municipality of Sao Gabriel da Cachoeira ['St. Gabriel of the Waterfall'] in northernmost Brazil. Other languages include German, Italian, and Japanese primarily in southern Brazil. There also are 180 known Amerindian languagesthat are spoken in remote forested areas.
In terms of other religions, over 15 percent [over 26 million] are Protestants. Over 1 percent [over 2.2 million] are Spiritists who accept reincarnation, mediumship, and spirits [non-physical beings] according to the writings of Allan Kardec [October 3, 1804-March 31, 1869]. Almost 1 percent [over 1.5 million] practice other Christian religions, such as the Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ. The Afro-Brazilian religions of Candomblé and Umbanda are practiced by around 0.3 percent [over 525,000].
