Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together.

Portuguese is a Western Romance language from the Iberian Peninsula and is the official language of several countries, including Brazil, Portugal, Angola, and Mozambique. It also holds co-official status in places like East Timor and Macau. Portuguese-speaking nations are called Lusophone. The language spread globally due to colonial expansion and originated from Vulgar Latin dialects in medieval Galicia and Portugal, retaining some Celtic phonology. With about 300 million speakers, Portuguese is the fifth most spoken native language and the second most spoken Romance language, after Spanish.

Guinea-Bissau Creole, also called Kiriol or Crioulo, is a Creole language primarily derived from Portuguese. It is spoken in Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, and The Gambia. A variant known as Casamance Creole is spoken in southern Senegal, particularly in Casamance, a former Portuguese colony. While Portuguese is Guinea-Bissau's official language, Guinea-Bissau Creole is widely used in trade, informal literature, and entertainment. However, it is not used in media, government, public services, or education.

Ainda bem que existe a norma padrão, coisa que mantém a comunicação eficiente entre os falantes da língua.
