Native Win32 NLS - strange default sub language for Portuguese

Question

Doing LANGID and LCID gymnastics right now. Just noticed that in native Win32 NLS, SUBLANG_PORTUGUESE_BRAZILIAN is the user default sub language for the LANG_PORTUGUESE primary language. I expected SUBLANG_PORTUGUESE to be the default sub language. Why isn't it?

Answer 1

I suppose it has something to do with sheer user base. I mean much more people live in Brazil than in Portugal. So it is probably better default value.
