Portuguese Facts
Portuguese is written with the Latin alphabet, and makes use of the acute accent, the circumflex accent, the grave accent, the tilde, and the cedilla, to denote stress, vowel height, nasalization, and other sound changes
Portuguese has many obvious grammatical and lexical similarities with other Romance languages, and is to a small extent mutually intelligible with Spanish and Italian: Portuguese speakers would not generally need any formal study of grammar and vocabulary before being able to understand reasonably simple sentences in these languages (and vice versa)
The Portuguese-Japanese 'Nippo Jisho' of 1603 was the first dictionary of Japanese in a European language, which was a product of Jesuit missionaries in Japan
