Portuguese Translation Services
Language History:
As with most other Romance Languages, Portuguese began as the Vulgar (spoken) Latin brought to the Western Iberian Peninsula by Roman armies and settlers in the 3rd century BC. When Roman influence waned in the 4th and 5th centuries, the region was repeatedly invaded by barbarian tribes and the language evolved away from Latin and the other Romance Languages developing in the region, appearing as a distinct language known as Old Portuguese as early as the 5th century and appearing in written form in the 9th century. By the 13th century Portugal stabilized as a distinct cultural and political region, and the Portuguese language had attained its modern form. Portugal once enjoyed a vast worldwide empire of colonies and as a result the language has spread all over the world.

Some Fun Facts About Portugal:
Portugal is technically the oldest country in Europe, having maintained exactly the same borders since 1139. Portuguese and the Gallican language spoken in northwestern Spain were once the same language, and are very similar today. Either language could be considered a dialect of the other, in fact.
