Portuguese...
"Portuguese is spoken by about 96 million people,
of whom all
but 12 million live in Brazil, and the
rest in Portugal and its
Atlantic, African, and Asian possessions. A Romance language,
Portuguese is dialectally related to Galician (q.v.), spoken in
northwestern Spain. Prominent
Brazilian dialects are the
Carloca (Rio de Janeiro) and Paulista (São Paolo).
It is interesting that no vernacular New Testament, not to men-
tion Bible, should have existed in Portuguese until 1681, and
that when one was finally published it did not appear in Portu-
gal itself, but in the East Indies. Still more remarkable is the
earliest Portuguese Old Testament, which was published by
Danish mies. in India. It was not until 1781, exactly
a
century after the d’Almeida New Testament had been published
on the other side of the world, that a Portuguese New Testa-
ment was printed in Portugal. These two early translations, the
d’Almeida and Figueiredo versions, became the
standard Portu-
guese Bibles, and were often revised and reprinted. At the end
of the 19th century there was considerable pressure for a trans-
lation into the distinct usage of Brazil, but it was not until 1916
that the Brazilian (Versão Brasileira) Bible was at last
published." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only:
