Portuguese In The United StatesPortuguese has been spoken in the United States by small communities of Portuguese and Brazilian immigrants, especially in Miami, New Bedford, Massachusetts, New Jersey and the metropolitan New York City area. The Ironbound section of Newark, New Jersey is also called "Little Portugal", and 46th Street in Manhattan is also named "Little Brazil Street". It is also spoken by Chinese and Macanese immigrants from Macau, especially in California. Portuguese-creole speakers are also counted, such as Patu or Macaista Chapado speakers from Macau and Papiamento-speaking settlers from Netherlands Antilles. In many of these places, schools have been established to teach Portuguese to children of immigrants. They are usually attended in addition to regular school in the late afternoon and evenings. Wherever there is a Portuguese community of any appreciable size, there will usually be a social club. There are also a number of Portuguese churches in the U.S. External links
