The poet Fernando Pessoa once wrote: «My Country is my language». And for more than 200 million people spread out throughout Europe, Africa, South America and Asia this country is called the Portuguese Language.
«From my language you can perceive the sea.»This sentence by the Portuguese writer Virgílio Ferreira could well be the motto for the eight countries that constitute the CPLP, the Community of Countries of the Portuguese Language (Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa).
