Notes

  • 1 First and Second with first language speakers, respectively. Only counting figures from countries in the table "Portuguese language countries and Territories". Considering second language speakers those people who are bilingual and use Portuguese as a second language.
  • 2 Galicia is only included as a Portuguese language territory since many linguists understand both language' has being co-dialects. The government of Galicia regards Galician as a separate language.
  • 3 A Fal' is not recognized by the Spanish authorities to be a Portuguese dialect, although there have been attempts to consider it Galician, but the locals do not want to use the Galician orthography. A Fal' differs very little from the neighbouring Portuguese dialect on the other side of the border, but it will probably be recognized (if it will be) as a separate language.
