Brazilian Portuguese is a group of Portuguese dialects native to Brazil. Brazilian Portuguese, the same as European Portuguese, belongs to the Western Romance language family. More than 200 million people speak this Portuguese variety, mostly in Brazil where it’s the official language.
Despite the name, Brazilian Portuguese is also spoken all around the world, mainly by Brazilian emigrants. Brazilian Portuguese-speaking communities are prominent in the United States, Japan, Paraguay, and the United Kingdom.
Brazilian Portuguese is not a separate language. European Portuguese is one of the standard variants of the language. Both language varieties are mutually intelligible but have some regional differences.
The Portuguese language in Brazil emerged during the Portuguese colonization era. Portuguese colonialists claimed Brazil in 1500 — and so began the spread of the new language.
Portuguese wasn’t a widespread language until around the 17-18th century. Up until then, local LÃngua Geral was the lingua franca of Brazil. Because of the growing number of Portuguese settlers, Portuguese became the national language by the end of the 18th century.
Naturally, the language evolved and obtained some regional features that make it different from the Portuguese spoken in Europe. To this day, Portuguese is the main language of Brazil. Almost all inhabitants speak this as a main language, with the exception of small foreign communities.
Since Brazilian Portuguese belongs to the Romance language family, it shares some similarities with Italian, French, and Romanian. However, Spanish is the closest language to Portuguese. While the two languages are not entirely mutually intelligible, they have a very high intelligibility rate.
Because of the shared common ancestor, Galician is also very closely related to Portuguese. Some linguists claim that Galician is a Portuguese dialect, while others — that it’s an independent language.
The biggest part of the Brazilian Portuguese vocabulary comes from Vulgar Latin. However, Portuguese extensively borrows from foreign languages as well. The most common foreign words are of German, Greek, and Arabic origin.
Brazilian Portuguese vocabulary slightly differs from the European one. The Brazilian Portuguese lexicon was significantly influenced by the languages it came in contact with. Most notably, the words from African languages (spoken by the slaves in colonial times) and Amerindian languages (spoken by the native inhabitants of Brazil) are very common.
Recently, Brazilian Portuguese began extensively borrowing words from English. Words related to technology (app, mouse, mod), sports (surfing, skating), and various cultural terms (hobby, vintage, cupcake) are used by Brazilian Portuguese speakers.
Brazilian Portuguese is mutually intelligible with Portuguese spoken in Europe. However, Brazilian Portuguese has regional varieties of its own. Brazilian Portuguese is divided into two dialect groups: Northern and Southern. Both of these groups contain dozens of local varieties.
There are several important differences between European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese that are important to note when recording a voice over.
Firstly, Brazilian Portuguese doesn’t extensively use the informal you (‘tu’). Instead, the formal variant ‘voce’ is used in both formal and informal situations. Another very prominent difference is the pronunciation of final the ‘s’. Brazilian Portuguese speakers tend to pronounce it as ‘s’, while native European Portuguese use ‘sh’ instead.
When recording the Brazilian Portuguese recording, make sure you pay attention to these little peculiarities. After all, they make Brazilian Portuguese so unique.
