They come from Brazil, which is a country in South America. They speak Portuguese rather than Spanish because when Spain and Portugal were ‘dividing up’ South America several centuries ago, Portugal got the section that became Brazil. The native people, Africans brought as slaves, and European colonists intermarried, or didn’t; and that makes Brazilians.
