Portuguese is spoken by 230~270,000,000 people, from its native Portugal to Brazil and several African and Asian countries, alongside which several Portuguese-based creoles are found. But why do we refer to these countries as Lusophone? In this video, I'll look at the etymology of Lusophone and why it's used to describe Portuguese speakers.

Macanese Patois or patuá is probably the most unique of the Portuguese creole languages. Called the "sweet language", it is spoken by the ethnic Macanese and it is a combination of Portuguese, Cantonese, Malay, and Sinhala which is the result of Macau being a naval hub for the Portuguese in the region. Portuguese settlers would marry women from Malacca, India, and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka of course), so the language started with a lot of Malay and Sinhala influence. Then more people came from former Portuguese colonies as the Dutch took over the East Indies. Some Japanese Christian refugees came as well. The language is sadly critically endangered, as the influence of Cantonese and PRC nationalism has dominated Macau. It had an estimated 5,000 speakers in 2007. Mostly spoken by the diaspora. But its decline really started during the Estado Novo as the government during that time forced people to speak purely Portuguese and not the creole. But those who still speak the language have launched efforts to preserve Macau's unique cultural identity and promote the language, arguing Macau's status as the 500-year old bridge between the Orient and the Occident.

Na verdade se for seguir esse sentido, o primeiro lugar realmente mais habitado ainda assim foi pernambuco, pois o ano de fundação que levam em consideração é apenas papelada, assim como o próprio descobrimento do Brasil. Pois em meados 1503 chega ao cabo de santo agostinho, O pai do futuro donatário de pernambuco "Gonçalo Coelho" nas duas primeira expedições ao Brasil, ele estava acompanhado de Américo Vespúcio, e lá montou feitorias na região que hoje seria Olinda. Por isso que existe cartas do donatário quase 30 anos depois enviadas ao Rei tratando aquilo como vila ou cidade e assim usam esse documento como data de fundação. Realmente acham que é uma coincidência o Rei de portugal dar a capitania pro filho de Gonçalo? é obvio que não.

My favorite when it comes to the Lusophones are those who speak Papiamento. That although the ABC Islands are politically Dutch, the people there speak a PORTUGUESE-based creole (as well as some Spanish and Dutch influence thrown in later). It's mind-boggling, and there are different theories on how this creole language came to be. Based on historical evidence, Papiamento shares a lot in common with Cape Verdean and Guinea-Bissau creole languages so one could theorize the African slaves brought to these islands came from Portuguese trade posts in West Africa and were already speaking Portuguese. I love the combination of tropical and colonial charm of Willemstad in Curaçao. Besides the language, something else that's intriguing is how the iconic Blue Curaçao came to be. It's flavored with the dried peel of the laraha, a bitter orange. You see, when Spain had these islands, they introduced Seville oranges in 1527. However, due to the arid climate and soil, the Seville trees didn't thrive and as they were abandoned, the oranges turned bitter. When the islanders realized dried peels of it were aromatic, it led to the experimentation that would create Blue Curaçao.

Despite portuguese people being called Lusophones, the modern portuguese language did not come from the Lusitani (Lusitanians) celts. Lusitani lived south of the Douro river (Durius in latin), north of the river were Caelleci (Gallaic) celts and modern Portuguese comes of what is called the Gallaic-portuguese language. Basically northern Portugal and spanish Galícia province to the north are the same people (Galicians feel more akin to Portuguese than to the rest of Spain and call us brothers). Modern Gallician has lots of forcefully and artificially introduced words and diction from Castillian (modern Spanish) but if you listen to old Galician, it is extremely similar to modern Portuguese.

on another note, many portuguese speaking thinkers have shown disapproval towards the term lusophone, as the geographic space in which the Portuguese language originated more closely matches the roman province of Gallaecia. Portuguese was only spoken in Lusitania when those territories where conquered by the cristian kingdoms. In this spirit, Brasilian writer Luís Ruffato coined the term "Galeguia" as an alternative to "Lusofonia".
@renatopinto3186

It's disputable, I believe they cannot be considered lusophones, as the Lusitani lands were to the south of the Gallaeci's. Portugal formed as an embryo state up north, in the Gallaeci southern territories, around major settlements like Póvoa do Lanhoso, Guimarães and Braga (from Celtic Bracari subtribe). Galician-Portuguese resulted from romanization of the common tongue spoken by the Gallaeci. After the fall of Rome and into the middle ages (XI century), the County of Portugal broke away from the Kingdoms of Galizia, Asturias and Léon. Portuguese as an official language was established around the XIII century, as ordered by King Denis I. Although the lands formerly of the Lusitani (central Portugal) had already been incorporated into the south-expanding Portuguese Kingdom by then, recovery and assimilation of the Lusitanian identity into the Portuguese mythos came long after Galizia and Portugal went their own separate ways. Hence, Galicians can't be considered lusophones as in that epithet is chiefly a Portuguese-identity marker. Hope it wasn't much confusing 😅 Edit. I think this aligns with one the answers above. Gallicians aren't Lusophones, but the Portuguese could've been called Gallaegophones.

@@renatopinto3186 We Portuguese calling ourselves "Lusos" is the confusing part here, as Portugal descends from Porto, not Lusitania, but either way, "Lusophone" doesn't really remark "Lusitanian descent" but simply "Speaker of Portuguese", and I'd say Portuguese and Galician could be called the same "languages", albeit modern Galician being somewhat a creole of Castillian Spanish? Our "Lusitanian" identity is honestly merely poetic, if anything, only a part of our country was inhabited by the Lusitanii (themselves a coalition of many tribes) and even the Roman province excluded the northen birthplace of Portugal, which you too said. We can say that when king D. Dinis established "Portuguese" as the official laguage of our kingdom, it was the same spoken in Coimbra and in Santiago de Compostela. We're all Lusophone but maybe the issue here is what we call ourselves (the collective speakers of the Gallician/Portuguese tongue), Galegophones could work too. Either way, we're all *that*

El Mundo Lusofono is spanish. In Portuguese, it would've been "O Mundo Lusofono", pronounced "Oo moondoo Loo-soh-fa-noo" It's also hilarious that when you talked about the languages of the Iberian Peninsula, you showed Spain but did not show Portugal xD

I've never heard the word "Lusophone" before, that's interesting. But as a native Portuguese-speaker, I can say "El mundo lusófono" instead of "O mundo lusófono" sounds almost offensive, also "Mundo Lusófono" is pronounced as something like /ˈmũdu lusɔːfonu/ (Brazilian Portuguese). Obviously pronunciation is not really a problem, but the "el" thing is definitely a huge mistake.

I think that Lusitaanians are not Germanic people. I think that they are Slavic origin. Its very similar with Lusitian Sorbs and they were West Slavic people and live near germanic tribes. I see that in Lusitania we have tribe Seurbi. Also I see that some people from Portugal have 2-10% Balkan dnk. Lusitanian Sorbs and Serbs from Serbia before 6th century were one tribe and Serbs live in Balkan. Can somebody do same reseach? 😢
