Language!
As a Portuguese speaker of the 3th european language, i don´t really care about spanish/castilian! Some italian/toscanian words are more similar to Portuguese than spanish/gipsy/castilian!Like german and english they have similar words but that don´t means that you as an english speaker you will understand all germanic words!Let me tell you,that in europe is tradition the rivallery and we dont like to be compared with our neighbours!Europe is more diverse even smaller than other continents!Outside of my country or of the Portuguese speanking countries, we speak English and that`s enough!By the way in spain like in soviet russia, they still have other nations, Catalonia, Basque Country and Galiza, (who will be someday independent)and in this nation they speak a variant of Portuguese language!
