- 2000, Glanville Price, Encyclopedia of the languages of Europe, reprint, illustrated edition, Wiley-Blackwell, →ISBN, page 367:
  A distinction is usually made between Old Portuguese (português antigo, português arcaico), referring to the period from the earliest texts to 1540, Classical Portuguese (1540-1850), and Modern Portuguese (1850 to the present). There is sometimes a further subdivision of the Old Portuguese period into a Galician-Portuguese period (origins to 1350), during which the linguistic and cultural unit of Galicia and Portugal remained strong, and the Old Portuguese period proper (1350-1540).

Etymology

Borrowed from Portuguese Portugal (“Portugal”). The Portuguese name continues Old Galician-Portuguese Portugal, from Late Latin Portucale, a univerbation of Portus Cale (“Port of Cale”), a Roman place-name associated with the area of present-day Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.

The first element is portus (“harbour, port”), from Proto-Italic *portus, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pértus (“crossing, passage”). The origin of Cale is uncertain, though a Celtic origin has been proposed.

Cognates and parallel forms include Norwegian Nynorsk Portugal, Danish Portugal, Swedish Portugal, German Portugal, Dutch Portugal, French Portugal, Spanish Portugal, Galician Portugal and English Portugal.

Usage notes

As opposed to most country names in Portuguese, Portugal is normally used without the definite article, e.g.: de Portugal 'from Portugal', em Portugal 'in Portugal', a Portugal 'to Portugal'. However, it does take a definite article when it has a modifier, as in o Portugal do século XIX '19th-century Portugal'. This peculiarity applies to many other country and place names such as Angola, Moçambique, Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe, Essuatíni, Macau, Timor-Leste, Andorra, Israel, Aragão, Castela or Leão, as well as to most city names.
