Brazilian Portuguese is a variant of the Portuguese language spoken primarily in Brazil. It has evolved differently from European Portuguese, influenced by indigenous languages, African languages, and immigrant languages, resulting in unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. The language is characterized by its melodic intonation and distinct regional accents. While the core grammar remains similar to other Portuguese dialects, Brazilian Portuguese features differences in verb conjugation and the use of pronouns. It is the most widely spoken language in South America and serves as a key element of Brazilian culture and identity.
