Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Arabic prefix en-

What's the prefix en- in enxofre? The OED says it's the Arabic article, but that's normally al- or a-, isn't it? Is there a reason *axofre would nasalize? — kwami (talk) 00:03, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Word-initial /e/ tended to nasalise before /ʃ/ in Old Portuguese. Compare: enxugar (exsūcāre), enxame (exāmen), enxempro (exemplum). Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese and UNESCO

"According to estimates by UNESCO, Portuguese is the fastest-growing European language after English".

I couldn't find the original UNESCO source and I really doubt this fact according to what I've read so far and according to demographic trends up to 2050.--Loup Solitaire 81 (talk) 20:30, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

South Afriva and Namibia

This topic has already been brought up before, but, apparently, the editors seem to ignore it. Portuguese is not a "secondary language" or a "language of culture" in either South Africa or Namibia. Therefore, there is no reason why South Africa and Namibia should be colored in the map of Portuguese-speaking countries. 161.24.19.44 (talk) 18:57, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
