A short history of the Portuguese language
Portuguese belongs to the Ibero-Romance group of languages, which include Spanish, Galician and Catalan. These are all descended from the Vulgar (colloquial) Latin spoken by Roman soldiers when they arrived on the Iberian Peninsular in the 3rd century BCE.
After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the region was conquered by Germanic tribes (between 409 and 711 AD) - but these occupiers also adopted the local Vulgar Latin dialects. In 711 the Moorish invasion of the Iberian Peninsular brought Arabic to the region, which had some impact on the development of the local language.
Vulgar Latin gradually evolved into Galician-Portuguese, which was spoken throughout the medieval Kingdom of Galicia. After Portugal broke off to become a separate kingdom in 1130, Portuguese was established as the official language of that country.
The spread of the Portuguese Empire in the 15th and 16th centuries took the language across the world, to Latin America, Africa and Asia. Read more
