Portuguese Translation Expertise

Nowadays Portuguese is one of the most important and most spoken language around the world. It is considered as the fasted-growing European language behind English. The Portuguese language has a presence on almost all of the continents. It is often wrongly thought that Portuguese is only spoken in Portugal and Brazil, but in fact it is the official language in nine countries: Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Timor-Leste, Equatorial Guinea, and São Tomé and Principe. In Portugal, the country of origin, Portuguese is spoken by more than 10 million of speakers, while in Brazil the estimated number of native speakers exceeded 186 million people! Portuguese is also spoken by about 679 000 people in the United States, having the largest communities in the world. Portuguese is also one of twenty official of the European Union, and an official language of NATO.

Portuguese belongs to the Romance group of languages. The roots of the Portuguese language are based in the autonomous community of Galicia, in the north of Portugal and the northwest of Spain. Their language, Galician, was a mix of local dialects and common Latin, and around the 14th century, Portuguese emerged as a descendant language. Even today, speakers of Portuguese and Galician have no trouble understanding one another.

Portuguese has two important dialects: the European and the Brazilian. Some aspects and sounds found in many dialects of Brazil are exclusive to South America, and cannot be found in Europe. Standard Portuguese was developed in the 16th century, basically from the dialects spoken from Lisbon and Coimbra. Brazilian Portuguese is different from the European in several respects, including several sound changes and some differences in verb conjugation, syntax and Phonology. As you can see there is no one “neutral” form of Portuguese meaning it can be a difficult task for Portuguese translators, because it should ensure the work is optimised for the intended audience, wherever they may be.
