EUROPEAN PORTUGUESE
PT-PT

The language is the same, with different accents in many countries. It is a Latin-based language, with Gaelic, Germanic, Greek, and Arabic influences. It was spoken in the Iberian Peninsula before as Galician-Portuguese. With the formation of Portugal as a country in the 12th century, the language evolved into Portuguese. In the Spanish province of Galicia, the Northern border of Portugal, the native language is Galician. Both Portuguese and Galician are very similar and natives can understand each other as they share the same recent common ancestor. Portuguese and Spanish are different languages, although they share 89% of their lexicon.

A reformed Portuguese orthography, in which words were spelled all the more than per their pronunciation, was embraced in Portugal in 1916. A somewhat altered structure was received in Brazil in 1943 and reconsidered in 1970. Portuguese also has a Latin-based letter set consisting of 26 alphabets, the same as English.
