Portuguese in New York City —
The Brazilian & Lusophone Community
The New York metropolitan area has one of the largest Brazilian communities in the United States, with significant concentrations in Astoria (Queens), Newark/Ironbound (New Jersey), and across the five boroughs. Portuguese speakers from Portugal, Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, and Brazil make up a diverse Lusophone community in the region.
Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammatical forms. For USCIS-bound document translation, the source language (Brazilian or European Portuguese) must be accurately identified and rendered. MEJPBS's Portuguese linguists are native speakers who correctly handle both variants, as well as Portuguese-language documents from African countries.
Our Portuguese linguists serve families navigating Brazilian and Portuguese government document requirements for USCIS immigration applications, hospitals serving Lusophone communities, legal proceedings with Portuguese-speaking parties, and corporate clients with Brazil or Portugal business connections.
