02 · NamesU+00E7 LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA

Portugal, Portugalia, Portekiz: how the name changes

37 languages in the list write Portugal unchanged, from English and Spanish to Breton and Tagalog. The rest mostly add an ending: Portugalia in Polish, Romanian and Albanian, Portugalija in Croatian and Lithuanian, Portugalsko in Czech and Slovak, Portogallo in Italian, Portugália in Hungarian, Πορτογαλία (Portogalía) in Greek. Turkish has Portekiz, Guarani Poytuga, Aymara Purtuwal, Zulu and Swati iPutukezi.

Latin keeps two names, the classical Lusitania and the later Portugallia. Arabic writes البرتغال (al-Burtuġāl), and Persian has پرتقال (Portoqâl), a spelling that returns among the Arab-period town names below, where Porto is برتقال (Burtuqāl). Chinese renders the sound as 葡萄牙 (Pútáoyá), Japanese as ポルトガル (Porutogaru).

Lisboa and Olisipo, Açores and Insulae Accipitrinae

The Lisbon table shows the Romance and Germanic forms side by side: Lisboa in Portuguese, Catalan and Galician, Lisbona in Italian, Lisbonne in French, Lissabon in German, Dutch and the Nordic languages. Latin lists the modern Lisbonum and the ancient Olisipo and Ulisipo, and Arabic both لشبونة (Lišbūnâ) and الأشبونة (al-Ušbūnâ).

For the Azores most languages translate the island part of the name: Azor adaları in Turkish, Азорские острова (Azorskije ostrova) in Russian, Azori-szigetek in Hungarian, Asóreyjar in Icelandic, Gżejjer Ażori in Maltese. Latin adds names of its own, Insulae Accipitrinae and Accipitrum Insulae.

08 · Anthem

A Portuguesa: the national anthem of Portugal

The three stanzas of A Portuguesa in Portuguese, each closing with the refrain Às armas, às armas! The words are by Henrique Lopes de Mendonça (1856–1931), written in 1890 and adopted on 5 October 1910.

Heróis do mar, nobre povo, / Nação valente, imortal / Levantai hoje de novo / O esplendor de Portugal! / Entre as brumas da memória, / Ó Pátria, sente-se a voz / Dos teus egrégios avós / Que há-de guiar-te à vitória! / Às armas, às armas! / Sobre a terra sobre o mar, / Às armas, às armas! / Pela Pátria lutar / Contra os canhões marchar, marchar!
Desfralda a invicta Bandeira, / À luz viva do teu céu! / Brade a Europa à terra inteira: / Portugal não pereceu / Beija o solo teu jucundo / O oceano, a rugir d’amor, / E o teu Braço vencedor / Deu mundos novos ao mundo! / Às armas, às armas! / Sobre a terra sobre o mar, / Às armas, às armas! / Pela Pátria lutar / Contra os canhões marchar, marchar!
Saudai o Sol que desponta / Sobre um ridente porvir / Seja o eco de uma afronta / O sinal de ressurgir. / Raios dessa aurora forte / São como beijos de mãe, / Que nos guardam, nos sustêm, / Contra as injúrias da sorte. / Às armas, às armas! / Sobre a terra, sobre o mar, / Às armas, às armas! / Pela Pátria lutar / Contra os canhões marchar, marchar!
