Yes, and Mexicans speak Portuguese.
Brazilians can not speak Portuguese but can speak Spanish. LOL
Who was the moron that started this thread? This will lead to nothing but nonsense.

I started this thread.
Nowhere did I say that Brazilians cannot speak Portuguese. I'm aware that it is their mother tongue.
I was just asking whether what several Brazilians told me: That most Brazilians can speak Spanish, is true.
Next time read carefully before you throw on some judgment.
And don't be so negative, Guest, the world is already bad enough. ;-)
Cheers!

''Also a good education system prevents languages to diverge,''
It's too late, Brazil and Portugal diverged because Portugal didn't want to invest in colony's educational system, unlike UK and Spain that opened many universities in its colonies (Dominica, Mexico City, Lima), 1st universities in Brazil were opened after independence, but it was too late: the language diverged too much during 200-300 years of no schools...

''I agree, Brazil being a developing country cannot provide with a decent educacion system to ALL of its population''
I guess you could say the same of Swiss German. Educational system in Switzerland must be so poor that Germanic Swiss people never seem to learn to speak proper German even after 12 years of learning it at school. They must be so dumb.
And Southern Africans must be even dumber, They failed to learn proper Dutch, so they speak a vulgar, simplified version of it called Afrikaans.

UK didn't open universities in US. US had universities after their independence.
Guest above is telling lies.
''Harvard University, founded in 1636, is almost certainly the oldest continuously-operating post-secondary educational institution in the U.S.''
