    Hi, you have a good question, cause commonly you see both cases.
    But, refering the examples you want to know, in the grammar's rules says that:

    - Countries and other places (like states, cities) .. Brasil, América, Lisboa.. are capitalized.*

    - Days, months and season.. sábado, fevereiro, verão.. aren't capitalized.**

    - And concerning languages and studies, both cases are correct... inglês ou Inglês, matemática ou Matématica.

    I hope this is helpful ;)
    Yes, they are!
    The Portuguese capitalization rules are pretty much similar to the English ones.
    Countries, cities, people's names, streets, languages, days/months, so on.
