Portuguese belongs to the romance languages. Its origins can be traced to 2000 years ago in what today is Northern Spain (Galicia) and Northern Portugal to the Latin that was spoken by the Romanized population of the area. As Portugal expanded as a colonial power in the 15th and 16th centuries, it established Portuguese in its empire, including Brazil, Goa in India, Angola in Africa and Macau in China.
