In the past, Brazil had two "official" languages, Portuguese and Nheengatu, this was an indigenous language that was studied and improved by Jesuit priests so that it could facilitate communication between the people who met here, it was a widely used language, both by Brazilians and Portuguese, to give you an idea, there was a time when this language was spoken more than Portuguese itself, many words in Brazilian Portuguese come from nheengatu, as well as the pronunciation of some words, but a Portuguese politician(marquês de pombal) prohibited Brazilians from using it, making Portuguese the only official language, over time Nheengatu stopped being used and taught by the majority of the population, today it is only spoken and taught in the state of Amazonas, where It is one of the official languages. But any Brazilian from anywhere can learn it if they want, there are courses for that.
