But it''s not a sovereign country as stated in the question.

yes , you are right Goa and Pondicherry were once colonized by the Portuguese Empire , but in this quiz they are focusing more on the official languages . In this case East Timor(Timor-Leste)is the only asian country to be qualified to be in this list . Macau also speaks a lot of Portuguese but they are considered part of China .

Goa way from here

That mostly happens in the islands...maybe a bit in Guinea Bissau. In Mozambique and Angola, Portuguese is the urban language. Out of the big cities there are the local languages, mostly with Bantu origin and pretty much almost zero based on Portuguese. I have to add that the Portuguese spoken in Angola and Mozambique is really similar to European Portuguese from the grammar point of view, unlike Brazil.

Angola and Mozambique definitely use Portuguese, although sometimes people will speak a different language natively. Compared to French and English speaking African countries, a lot more people speak Portuguese natively in those two though. In Sao Tome there are like 3-4 different creoles spoken by different parts of the population, Portuguese can still be used for communication between these groups. In Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau most people do not speak Portuguese and instead speak Portuguese-based creoles. In Equatorial Guinea, almost nobody speaks Portuguese and Portuguese is just official for political purposes.

its the official language, but not widely spoken

Ditto.

I was gonna say, EG people talk Spanish!! LOL

Same.

Equatorial Guinea always sneaks up on me. I thought I learned to expect it after the Spanish quiz and Crude Oil per Capita, but I guess not...

Starts the quiz, then quit (to other sites or whatever)...

Or assumes it doesn't need to be included because it's so obvious, or just completely forgets it because it's so obvious (like I have done with the Biggest Spanish Empire Countries, for example, in which it completely slipped my mind that I should include Spain).

It's an official language, it doesn't have to be widely spoken for this quiz

It is little spoken, but it is spoked.

In China

Macao is a Special Administrative Region of China. It enjoys certain powers separate from the Chinese government (as does Hong Kong) and has Portuguese as an official language, but is not fully sovereign so is not included here.

French.

That's like saying Belgium isn't a French- or German-speaking country

"Sovereign states only" Macau is one part of China. Portuguese is not an official language of China.

There are Portuguese creole speakers there. French is the official language that almost nobody speaks in EG - they made it official in order to connect better with the neighbours and to be part of the Francophonie, according to Wikipedia.

Spanish is one official language. Portuguese is another, and surprisingly, so is French.

Also independized is a very interesting way of saying "gained independence"

That's not exclusive. They speak both.

It was a Spanish colony, so it does mostly speak Spanish. They added French and Portuguese as official languages so they could participate in a couple of international organisations like the Francophonie and CPLP.

Brazil speaks Portuguese and their capital is Brasília. Argentina speaks Spanish and their capital is Buenos Aires. Source: everything in existence
