Question: What event in history made Portuguese the official language in Brazil!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't know if it made Portuguese the official language, but it played a significant part anyways!.!.!. But when they were first colonizing the Americas, Spain and Portugal split South America in two!. Spain got the western half and Portugal got the eastern half (which mostly consisted of Brazil)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Considering that it was a Portuguese colony for quite a while, and at one point the Emperor of Brazil even ruled Portugal, it would be a surprise if Portuguese weren't the official language!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
