Language :)
The Portuguese language originated from Latin in the Western Iberian Peninsula.
Roman soldiers and colonists introduced Latin in 216 BCE. The language extended to other regions by Roman soldiers, settlers, and merchants.
How did Portugal develop its own language?
The roots of the Portuguese language are based in the autonomous community of Galicia, in the north of Portugal and the northwest of Spain. Their language, Galician, was a mix of local dialects and common Latin, and around the 14th century, Portuguese emerged as a descendant language.
How old is Portugal language?
Portuguese is a Romance language that was developed over 2,000 years ago when the Romans arrived on the Iberian Peninsula, which is modern-day Portugal and Spain.
Roman soldiers arrived speaking Vulgar Latin, a form of spoken Latin, which is the root of all Romance languages.
In my opinion, the Portuguese is an interesting language, because it is similar to the Spanish language, some day I wanna learn Portuguese, I like that language and I love when Portuguese people speak, because I love the accent.

Social organization :)
Social Organization :)
During its formative stages, Portugal had three social classes: clergy, nobility, and commoners. By virtue of the religious fervor of the times, the clergy was the predominant class. It was the most learned, the wealthiest, and occupied the highest office in the realm: the chancellorship.
This happened in many cultures in past centuries, the truth is that I do not have new and clear information about whether in some countries they continue to do the same thing that was practiced before in Portugal, but I imagine that yes, because there are many cultures throughout the world.
