	Portuguese
		Portuguese belongs to the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family.
		It is spoken in Portugal, Brazil, and in the Portuguese colonial and formerly colonial territories of Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, São Tome e Principe, Goa, Macau, and East Timor.
		Portuguese spread worldwide in the 15th and 16th centuries as Portugal created a far-reaching colonial and commercial empire, spanning from Brazil in the Americas to Macau in China.

	Portuguese grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Portuguese grammar, the morphology and syntax of the Portuguese language, is similar to the grammar of most other Romance languages — especially Galician and the other languages of Iberian Peninsula.
		Portuguese is basically an SVO language, although SOV syntax may occur with a few object pronouns, and word order is generally not as rigid as in English.
		Portuguese language is prodigal in the use of diminutives, that convey the senses of small size, endearment or insignificance.

	Dummies::Understanding Basic Portuguese Grammar
		Keep the gender of the thing you're talking about in mind: In Portuguese, every time you describe the noun with an adjective —; like bonita (boo-nee-tah; pretty), simpático (seem-pah-chee-koo; nice), or grande (gdahn-jee; big) — you change the end of the adjective to make it either masculine or feminine.
		Just like with Portuguese nouns and adjectives, the gender game is also at play when it comes to articles, the words like the, a, an, and some.
		Now's the time to ooh and ah over grammar — o (ooh) means "the" for masculine nouns, and a (ah) means "the" for feminine nouns.
