World Portuguese Language Day
“This world day is a fair recognition of the global relevance of the Portuguese Language. I am sure that its future will continue to be enriched by the diversity and solidarity of all its voices.”
António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations
Today, we celebrate the first edition of World Portuguese Language Day. The date of 5 May was officially established in 2009 by the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries (CPLP) - an intergovernmental organization that has been in official partnership with UNESCO since 2000, and which brings together peoples with the Portuguese language as one of the foundations of their specific identity - to celebrate the Portuguese language and Lusophone cultures.
In 2019, the 40th session of UNESCO's General Conference decided to proclaim 5 May of each year as World Portuguese Language Day.
The Portuguese language is not only one of the most widespread languages in the world, with more than 265 million speakers spread through all continents, but it is also the most widely spoken language in the southern hemisphere.
Portuguese remains, today, a major language of international communication and a language with a strong geographical projection, destined to increase.

Fernando Pessoa referia-se à língua como o lugar
onde se está e onde se vive, chamando a isso "pátria. "A minha pátria é a
língua portuguesa", escreveria o seu ortónimo Bernardo Soares, no Livro do Desassossego, criando sem o saber, o que viria a servir de
mote à Lusofonia.
