Portuguese evolved from Galician-Portuguese in medieval times and spread globally during the Age of Discovery. Portuguese explorers established the language in Brazil, Africa, and Asia. Today, the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) promotes cooperation among nine Portuguese-speaking nations.
