"Portugol" is a great pun on "Algol"! Are there also programming languages called "Portutran" for scientific computing and "Portubol" for business data processing?

Yes it is :)

We never compiled or ran Portugol (IIRC, it was so vaguely defined that you'd be hard pressed to implement it), so practical matters like how applicable it was to scientific computing or data processing was never a concern.
