      Equatorial Guinea? I get Sao Tome & Principe, Cabo Verde or Timor Leste, but Equatorial Guinea makes no sense.

      don’t most people in Angola already speak it as a native language? Also is missing Cabo Verde and Macau

      >The 2014 population census found that about 71% of the nearly 25.8 million inhabitants of Angola speak Portuguese at home. […] In urban areas, 85% of the population declared to speak Portuguese at home in the 2014 census

      I know that „first language“ and „language spoken at home“ are not synonymous. Still, these numbers lead me to believe that Portuguese is most likely the de facto first language of the majority of the population. I don’t see how it would realistically work to teach your children another language first and still use Portuguese at home.

      Could someone with more knowledge explain how I should interpret the census numbers? For example, is it possible that some people reported a language other than Portuguese as their first language for cultural identification reasons?

      It is missing Macau, which has Portuguese as an official language but not as a majority language.

      Every Angolan I’ve seen spoke Portuguese. What else would they be speaking?

      I have been assured that such tiny strips of lands couldn’t possibly be controlling a larger land mass.

      Macau and cabo are just invisible, and timor leste is just hard to see lmao

      Is that actually the case with Angola? My understanding is that Portuguese has engaged in this sort of replacement in Angola.

      Angola should be red, its the main working language of the country. The government and most people there speak it as a native language with maybe another language too

      These maps only serve to inflate the ego of the Portuguese. In truth, Portugal likes to boast about its imperial colonial era of expanding the Portuguese language, but in reality, Brazilian Portuguese is much more relevant today, and the Portuguese resent this. The Brazilian variant is significantly different and could even become a new language according to some linguists. It’s no coincidence that Duolingo only teaches Brazilian Portuguese.

      Brazil fails miserably at expanding its soft power. There was even a failed attempt about 15 years ago to unify the spelling of the languages, but guess what happened? Brazil, in good faith, adhered to the agreement, made a gigantic change to the dictionaries, and Portugal ultimately rejected the change. Brazil doesn’t have to ask Portugal for permission to spread its linguistic variant. It has to impose it, period. Over time, Portugal will adapt to the Brazilian language.

      It’s missing Macau, Cape Verde (where it’s spoken by the majority as as second language) and São Tomé and Príncipe, where it is the first language of the majority of the population.
