Portugal To-do:

Saint Thomas and Prince may be a translation of Sao Tome but it isn't one that is in wide use in English. Google returns 163 hits for English-language websites with that name (at least one is a Wikipedia redirect). Versus 1.6 million English language site using Sao Tome.

[edit] Macau

Where's Macau? -- stewacide

Macau is not a Country.~So cannot be part of it. But it can be and Observer. i dont know if it has such status. MaybePedro 01:00, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

That was my thinking. The Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick have some sort of special observer status at la Francophonie for example, as does the French part of Belgium and probably some others. I don't think Hong Kong is part of the Commonwealth in any way, but that's different since it isn't a cultural/linguistic organization like the Portuguese community of la Francophonie.

Canada is a full member of La Francophonie, 2 of the provinces have special status and Ontario is an observer. Belgium is a full member as well. --Kvasir 16:25, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Actually, each of Canada, Quebec, and New Brunswick are full members of La Francophonie, as are Belgium and the French Community of Belgium. E Pluribus Anthony 22:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

I'll do some digging and see what (if any) status Macau/China have... -- stewacide 01:12, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

For me its much more easier to digg. I'm a Port. Sepaker, and yes. In some manner Macau is an observer (by the Instituto Internacional de Macau) they are a member of CPLP's young group. They acquire their status in 2002 (?) when East Timor became a member state. The CPLP is not really inspired in la Francophonie, It's inspired in Portuguese experience in the EU (and former EEC) though EU started as an Economical Community. CPLP started as a cultural community.Pedro 00:47, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I did a li’l bit of digging too, e aunque não falo português, sim falo espanhol e eu posso ler bastante… I haven’t seen nothin’ about Macao’s membership on the IIM page, nor CPLP’s under Observadores Consultivos. The closest I came was this 2005 Macao blog entry saying it was going to ask for Observer status, but nothing saying whatever became of it. Could you provide any linx, please, Pedro (na língua que seja) addressing Macao’s or any Macao organizations’ status in the CPLP? Can you dig it?? 19:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
