Allston, Massachusetts. A Little Brazil

Brazilian immigrants are estimated to be more than 250,000 in the Boston area, however according to
Allston, Massachusetts is one of the neighborhoods in the Boston area with the most dense Brazilian population, along with Framingham, Everett and Somerville.

Meet Junia Fonseca, one of the one million Portuguese speakers of Massachusetts, who works at a Brazilian bakery on Harvard Avenue in Allston.

Paulo Pinto, executive director of MAPS (Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers), the number of Brazilians is highly under-counted because of the number of undocumented immigrants.

Worldwide, Portuguese is spoken as a first language by 230million people. Portuguese is the second language of Massachusetts due to the high number of immigrants from Brazil, Portugal, Cape Verde and other countries.Did you know there are double the number of Portuguese speakers than Spanish speakers in Massachusetts?
