Brazil is however the centre of the community and is the point of origin of most of Portuguese America. It also includes communities all over the Americas and languages derived from Portuguese as it is Papiamento spoken on Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao; Saramaccan of Suriname or Cupópia of Brazil which is nearly extinct.
Because Portuguese is a Romance language, Portuguese America (specifically Brazil) is considered part of Latin America in some sources,[3] but this term more often refers to Hispanic America, since Brazil is not culturally close enough to Hispanic America in general other than by language proximity.[4][5]
