German Third
How widely spoken is German in Brazil? I heard its the third most spoken language after Portugese and Spanish?
German is a widespread second language, but only in the South of Brazil, where there is a large number of German immigrants. The states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul are the ones with the largest number of German descendants. However do not expect to hear German be spoken in the large cities like Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro or even Porto Alegre (capital of Rio Grande do Sul state).
Besides that I would think that Italian is the third most spoken language due to the huge number of Italian immigrants too. Sao Paulo, for example, concentrates more Italian speaking people than Rome!
