Somerville has been a Portuguese speaking community for a long time. Brazilians are the latest additions. Before them came the Cape Verdians, and before them the Portuguese proper.

I'm not from Somerville, but I have Cape Verdian friends that have family there. My first year in the Boston Area I lived in Cambridge and my friends took me and my family to see the 4th of July fireworks from the Mass Ave Bridge on the Charles. My friends spoke English, but their parents were old country and did not. They spoke to me in Portuguese, and I answered them in Spanish. The languages are close enough that we could sort of figure out what each other was saying.
