Hi, Portuguese and Portuguese Brasilian are "one" language with 2 key differences separating them. A) ortography and B) phonetics.
Easy comparison would be Brasil is to Portugal as USA is to England. In 2009 Portugal reached an ortographic agreement with its counterpart portuguese speaking countries where the written language will change/evolve to best interact with other PT speaking Countries. Books are being re-printed, dictionaires re-written etc. Regards, Margaret Vicente On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 12:51 PM, Tony Rodrigues <t.rodrigue...@yahoo.com>wrote: > Can someone please explain the difference between Portuguese, (as spoken > in the Azores) & Brazilian Portuguese. > > Thanks > > --- On *Wed, 12/30/09, Mary Ann Santos <m...@nyu.edu>* wrote: > > > From: Mary Ann Santos <m...@nyu.edu> > Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Learn basic Portuguese > To: azores@googlegroups.com > Date: Wednesday, December 30, 2009, 2:44 PM > > > The only drawback is that it's Brazilian Portuguese... > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > rfrancispimen...@comcast.net<http://us.mc457.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=rfrancispimen...@comcast.net> > Date: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 2:23 am > Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Learn basic Portuguese > To: > Azores@googlegroups.com<http://us.mc457.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=azo...@googlegroups.com> > > > Hi All, > > > > > > > > If you ever thought of learning basic Portuguese Dick Eastman's news > > letter has a article about a free course on line.
