History With Hilbert | Why are speakers of Portuguese called Lusophones? @historywithhilbert | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Portuguese is spoken by 230~270,000,000 people, from its native Portugal to Brazil and several African and Asian countries, alongside which several Portuguese-based creoles are found. But why do we refer to these countries as Lusophone? In this video, I'll look at the etymology of Lusophone and why it's used to describe Portuguese speakers.
