The name of the language is usually the name of its people because it is the trait that defines their cultural identity and experience in the world. But Brazil lives in an specific linguistic situation: at the same time that 98% of the population speaks the same language, Portuguese, we are a country with one of the greatest linguistic diversities in the world with more than 160 native and African languages spoken in our territory.
