Projections on Iberian vocabulary, toponyms and derivations in Portuguese, indicate just a few dozen words in total.

A claim of Basque influence in Portuguese is the voiceless alveolar retracted sibilant [s̺], a sound transitional between laminodental [s] and palatal [ʃ]; this sound also influenced other Ibero-Romance languages such as Catalan. The apico-alveolar retracted sibilant is a result of bilingualism of speakers of Basque and Vulgar Latin. The Basque influence in Portuguese is believed to have entered mainly through Spanish, because many of those who took part in the Reconquista and later repopulation campaigns in Portugal, were of Basque lineage, even if bilingual Basque-Castilian or Castilian-only speakers with strong Basque influence. There are a few words, surnames and forenames:

• bacalhau "cod(fish)", from Basque bakailao, maybe through Old Dutch bakeljauw or kabeljauw.
• cachorro "puppy" or "dog", from Basque txakur, xakur "puppy".
• carrasco "executioner" or "Portuguese oak", from Basque karraska "thunder, crash of falling tree"[4]

• sarna "scabies" from Medieval Latin (7th century, Isidore of Seville, Origines, 4.8.68), but as serna attested in Theodorus Priscianus (Constantinople, 4th century). Trumper (2004) however, after studying the variants of the word in the Latin medical treatises, proposes a Hispano-Celtic origin; cf. Middle Welsh sarn "mess" and sarnaf "to wreck".[5]
• veiga "meadow, grassland", from Basque *baika, (i)bai "river" + relational suffix -ko

Overview of the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures

Although there is not a comprehensive study or wordcount on how much Celtic, (particularly Gallaecian[9] and words from the Hispano-Celtic group) survived in Portuguese (and Galician)[10]; it is fair to say that after Latin, this is the second largest component in the Portuguese culture and language.[11] Projections on Celtic vocabulary (some words may have come via French borrowings starting in the XII century), toponyms and derivations in Portuguese, indicate well over 1,500 words. The Celtic substratum is often overlooked,[12] due to the strong Latinisation of Celtic-derived[13] words in Portuguese.

Because they have different Germanic origins, this list is divided into words that come from English, Frankish, Langobardic, Middle Dutch, Middle High German, Middle Low German, Old English, Old High German, Old Norse, Old Swedish, and Visigothic and finally, words which come from a Germanic root, where the specific source is unknown or uncertain. Projections indicate over 600 Germanic words in Portuguese, with a tendency to increase due to English, German and other modern influences. Some of these words existed in Latin as loanwords from other languages. Some of these words have alternate etymologies and may also appear on a list of Galician words from a different language. Some words contain non-Germanic elements. Any form with an asterisk (*) is unattested and therefore hypothetical.
