Drawn from its Latin roots, Portuguese is a Romance language that came from people of the Iberian Peninsula more than 2000 years ago. In 216 BCE the Romans landed on the Iberian Peninsula, bringing Latin with it. Over the centuries, as the Peninsula was conquered by the Germanic people and then the Moors, both German and Arabic influences made their way into the language. The earliest known records containing distinctively Portuguese language are from the 9th century. Between the 15th and 16th centuries the Portuguese language spread and today it is spoken by 200 million native speakers and 240 people worldwide, making it one of the world's major languages. Portuguese is also the official language in nine countries, including Portugal, Brazil, Angola and Macau. The Portuguese language is also widely spoken in Japan, Argentina, Austrailia, Canada and even the United States.
