[edit] Why?

I don't see why this article is being moved back from history of Portuguese constantly. That title can only reasonably refer to the language in proper English. If it were called "history of the Portuguese" it would be different, but that's not a problem since it's not standard usage of English to use the language name that way and implies the people rather than the language. As far as I see it, only the langauge can be properly referred to in the singular indefinite form.
