Why does only one nation (Brazil) in South America speak Portuguese whereas others speak Spanish?
Can you tell me why only one nation in South America speaks Portuguese while others speak Spanish?
Sure! Brazil is the only country in South America that speaks Portuguese because it was a colony of Portugal for over three centuries. The Brazilian variant of Portuguese features unique vocabulary and pronunciation that differs greatly from European Portuguese.In the case of Spanish-speaking countries, they were former colonies of Spain and inherited the Spanish language.
