Portugal Demographics Population Religion Percentage 2017
Portugal is a fairly linguistically and religiously homogeneous country. Ethnically, the Portuguese people are mainly a combination of ancient paleolithic populations, and the proto-Celtic, Celtic and Iberian tribes, para-Celtic Lusitanians. Some other groups, like the Romans, Germanic (Visigoths, Suevi, Buri, Alans and Vandals) and later the Moorish ( Berber), Sephardic Jewish, and the french also passed through the peninsula. Portugal was born of the Christian Reconquista.
Today, Ukrainians, Moldovans, Romanians, Russians and Bulgarians, as well as plenty of Brazilians, Venezuelans are immigrants from the country. Members of PALOP countries (Portuguese-speaking African countries) are also a big group. Portuguese is spoken throughout the country, with only the villages of Miranda do Douro's Mirandese language recognised as a locally co-official language.
In 2010 Portugal had 10,572,721 inhabitants.
