Falas português? (Portugal) 
Você fala português? (Brazil)   

Portuguese is the first language of around 220 million people in the world, with most native speakers living in Brazil and Portugal. It is also a major lingua franca in Portugal's former colonial possessions in Africa. 

Brazilian and European Portuguese are very far apart—from spelling to the use of verb tenses and terminology. In many situations, the use of European Portuguese is inappropriate to Brazilians, and vice-versa.

Portuguese is a Romance language derived from Latin. It is closely related to Spanish, French and Italian.
