It has more than 265 million speakers, which makes this language the third most spoken in the linguistic universe, behind only English and Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>It is an important vehicle of communication for the peoples that make up the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries.<\/p>\n<p>Victor Hugo Ma\u0303e is the author of several literary works, notably \u201cSons of a Thousand Men\u201d, \u201cThe Diseases of Brazil\u201d, \u201cThe Apocalypse of Workers\u201d and \u201cO Remorso de Baltazar\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The 5th of May, Portuguese Language Day, was officially established in 2009 by the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/angola\">Angola<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
