The population of Brazil is around 186 million people and is one of the least densely populated countries in the world, with the majority of the population concentrated along the coastal areas and in the cities. Brazil is a former colony of Portugal and, in spite of its diverse make-up has maintained full unity primarily due to the Portuguese language, which is spoken throughout the country, and the Roman Catholic faith which is still prominent amongst the people.

Portuguese is the official language and whilst accents vary from region to region, all Brazilians are able to communicate with each other using the same language.A knowledge of some Spanish is also useful for visitors as this is effectively the second language and has many common links with Portuguese. Whilst English is not widely spoken or understood, it is becoming noticeably more common in several of the key tourist areas,such as Natal, and certainly it is possible to order a meal or a drink in English in some of the larger and better known bars and restaurants. One of the very endearing qualities of the local people is that they will make every effort to communicate with foreign visitors and whilst language can sometimes be a barrier generally speaking, and with some patience, it is a very easy and enjoyable experience moving around both the urban and rural areas of the country.
Brazil has the largest Catholic population in the world although there is wide diversity in how the faith is practised due to the range of different influences and cults that have been introduced into the country by various nationalities, particularly those from Africa. As in many other countries around the world the practice of religion is changing and while Catholicism remains an important influence, other forms of religion such as Evangelical Christianity, Afro-Brazilian cults and spiritual sects are becoming more common place.
Brazil is an emerging market with regard to property investment and many believe with the changes taking place in Brazil will continue to strengthen the poperty market.
