The majority of interest in Capoeira comes disproportionately from Brazilian cities.

And on top of that, explain why it is that capoeira terms are mostly spoken/written in Portuguese language. Capoeira [kapo-way-ra] is a martial art originated from Brazil, sometime near the beginning of 16th century.

In Brazil, generations of enslaved African people shared the cultural customs, dances, rituals, and fighting techniques that would combine to become capoeira. Slaves used capoeira to fight to escape and resist capture, but concealed its combative purpose through music, song, and dance.

Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian art. It was formed in Brazil by enslaved Africans, forced to hide the fight within a dance some time after the 16th century. It was developed in the region known as Pernambuco in “Quilombo de Palmares”, presently state of Alagoas.
