English is the official language. They have very close ties to South Africa. Portuguese is not spoken in SA.

Sorry English will be the most popular European language. Portuguse will be regarded as useful...most likely due to ties with neighboring Angola.

Brazilians wishing to do business in Namibia will do so in ENGLISH...which most educated Brazilians speak.
