Someone recently posted an article about Creole and double negatives, and
used Portuguese as another example.  [Was it you, Dave Sherman?]
					,
In Spanish, for example:    Juan no hablo con nadie.
			    John did not speak with anyone.

To mention a Spanish example after a Portuguese one, of course, is redundant.
Both languages (among others) belong to the "Romance Languages", and have
the same Latin base.
