• Portuguese is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide.
• In 2009, three new letters were added to the alphabet: “K,” “W,” and “Y.” In 2009, Portuguese-speaking countries around the world came together to sign a new agreement introducing the letters “K,” “W,” and “Y.”
• Galician, spoken in northwestern Spain, is closely related to Portuguese.
• European and Brazilian Portuguese differ quite a bit from one another. It’s even difficult for Brazilians to understand European Portuguese. In Portugal, for example, they use the second-person pronouns *tu* and *vós*. But these two words are rarely heard in Brazil; there, they use *você* and *vocês*.
