There’s also the minderico speaker’s community, in a town called Minde. But that’s not a language, but an artificial lingo invented a few centuries ago by locals in order to be able to communicate between themselves without being understood by strangers. It’s pure portuguese, only the words get twisted meanings.

I think the correct term for such a “language” is "jargon" (in Portuguese "geringonça").
