Brazil and the German Language

In the 18s century many Germans migrated to Brazil, more precisely in the south region of the country. The empire back then, promised them free land, so they could come and work on their on plantations or cattle breeding. But much of what was promised wasn't fulfilled, leaving them all on their own fate.

Not only they didn't know how to speak the language of that new country, which they are now living in, they also had to endure social economic problems, because when they arrived here, all the land given to them was virgin, basically it was a tropical forest. They had to take it down, prepare the land and only then to seed the ground to be able to grow something on this piece of land. Imagine so, all of this would take about 2 years to be all done and be somehow profitable.

In result of this, theses people created a even greater sense of community among them. They created their own school to teach literacy for the their children, built their own houses and cities with the same architecture and type of building from where they came from, which some of them still standing today.

And because of all that was said, some of theses cities still teach German language as a second language. Researchers says that German could be the second most spoken language in Brazil besides an indigenous native language, reporting that approximately 2% Brazilians speak it, specially in the rural south.
