		Portuguese is often nicknamed The language of Camões, after the author of the Portuguese national epic The Lusiadas; The last flower of Latium (Olavo Bilac); and The sweet language by Cervantes.
		In the second period of Old Portuguese, from the 14th to the 16th century, with the Portuguese discoveries, the language was taken to many regions of Asia, Africa and the Americas (nowadays, the great majority of Portuguese speakers live in Brazil, in South America).
		Portuguese is written with the Latin alphabet, and makes use of the acute accent, the circumflex accent, the grave accent, the tilde, and the cedilla, to denote stress, vowel height, nasalization, and other sound changes.

	European Portuguese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		European Portuguese is a group of Portuguese dialects spoken in Portugal.
		Standard Portuguese (Português-padrão) is traditionally based on Estremenho dialect of Coimbra, where the single university of country existed for centuries, and, currently, also Lisbon’s, despite the pronunciation of Lisbon is still perceived by many as a dialect.
		Brazilian Portuguese, while being distinct in vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation from the European form of the language, remains intelligible to speakers of European Portuguese, in much the same way as British English is comprehensible to speakers of other dialects of English outside the UK.

	Notes on European Portuguese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Since the District of Vila Real is primarily a rural area, with more than seventy five per cent of its population living in centers with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, much of the Portuguese spoken is that of a rural dialect, as opposed to the supposedly more refined speech of Coimbra and Lisbon.
		One aspect of rural Portuguese, and one not limited to Vila Real, is the excessive use of titles for so-called superior people.
		Another oddity for those Portuguese speakers not used to continental Portuguese is the use of nominal forms preceded by the article instead of the pronoun forms of treatment.

	Phonology of the Portuguese language in Brazil
		The Portuguese language became the official language of the Portuguese Empire, which, by the year 1600, included large territorial areas in South America and Africa.
		Due to historical and linguistic factors, the language spoken in the portuguese territories in South America (Brazil) differentiated from the European Portuguese, in all linguistic aspects: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, etc., to the point of some linguists saying that Brazilians are already speaking another language.
		In Rio de Janeiro and in some other zones of Brazilian coast, the EP pronunciation may be found; this is probably due to the relusitanisation occurred at 1808, with the coming of the Portuguese Royal Family.
