But we're talking specifically about the city in this travel guide. 11 million people call Sao Paulo home. Sao Paulo is likely the most multicultural Brazil city. Immigrants have arrived from all over the world. Many came from Italy - there are six million residents of Sao Paulo who can trace their roots to Italy. There is also a large Portuguese community in Sao Paulo. About three million Paulistanos have Portuguese origins. There are over 60,000 Jews in Sao Paulo, and the city also boasts large numbers of German, Lithuanian and Spanish immigrants and children of immigrants. LanguageThe main language in Sao Paulo is Portuguese, and it has been this way since 1750, when it was introduced through immigration and in schools. The original, older language, Tupi Austral, lost ground then and is now virtually extinct. The Portuguese idiom spoken in metropolitan Sao Paulo is also affected by many immigrants from the Arabian Peninsula, Italy, Spain, Germany and Japan. The local dialect reflects the influence of these languages. Other languages used in Sao Paulo include Asian-based languages. The city has more Japanese people than any other place outside of Japan. Most Japanese Paulistanos now speak Portuguese, although they are fluent in the language of Japan, as well. Some people who are descendants of Koreans and Chinese can still speak the languages of their ancestors. German is spoken in some areas of Sao Paulo, as are Eastern European and Russian languages. Ancestors of Hungarian immigrants also use their native tongue when speaking to each other.
