Greater Portugal

Greater Portugal is an idea, which aims to unify the portuguese-speaking territories outside the actual frontiers of Portugal, that includes the autonomous region of Galiza, the Eonavian region, the territory of Olivença, many villages along the border that speak some kind of portuguese-galician dialect, such as the Fala language. The archipelago of Cape Verde is also part of this idea.
