Can I say something here please? I read this cuz I was interested and I can read portuguese but not talk it or write it, so I´m gonna do it in english!
I think there are just 2 flags in this forum, cuz those are the counties that speak officially portuguese
In the Spanish Forum, there are more flags beacuse there are MORE countries that have the spanish (in fact Castellano, like Pedro said) as their official languages... If they put all the flags of the countries where spanish is talked by a minority, you´ll see most of the countries´ flags there!
So i think that´s the same that happens here... I had this same discussion with some guys that said that we speak SPANISH, and really, that´s not true.. Our language is Castellano, but now is known worldwide that we speak spanish so it´s like pointless to try to make some people understand it!
And something I could barely understand in Lusitano´s post is that he said that in the spanish forum you can see flags of countries where they speak
horrivel spanish (It´s that like HORRIBLE, or just like barely speaked there?)... If it´s the first one, let me clear you that all those countries that appear there, have the spanish as official language, so I don´t think thay speak horribly. And if it´s the second, you´re also wrong... Spanish is speaked in lots of countries like the Philipines and its flag it´s not there (it´s barely speaked there), and in USA also, for those lots of latin inmigrants that live there... And those flags in the Spanish Forum are of South American countries and of the Caribbean like: Venezuela, Paraguay, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Panamá, El Salvador, Costa Rica, etc... And obviously one flag of Spain.
Excuse me for replying here, since I don´t talk or write portuguese!
PS.: I didn´t want to start a discussion here, just wanted to gove my point of view!
Greets!
