that's probably because we don't have like just two tonic vowels and we speak the whole word, respectively.

but like, seriously, avoid it for your own good. it has a shitload of little grammatical rules that make it frustrating even for native speakers. italian seems easier imho

>European portuguese is the closest you'll ever get to galician-portuguese
Nope. European Portuguese dialects, South American dialects and Galician, all three drifted a lot from the old Galician-Portuguese.

Here are some examples:
* GP used to pronounce C/Ç, Z, G and CH as /ts/, /dz/, /dj/ and /tx/. No extant Portuguese dialect does this.
* In GP, vowels were NOT reduced. They used to sound pretty much the same as in modern Castillian, and nearer conservative South American Portuguese dialects than Euro dialects.
* No palatalization of S (dois > doich).
* D and G were always "hard", like in S. Am. dialects. Soft B (as in "estabam") usually yields V ("estavam") in modern Portuguese anyway.

If I was to say

"The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog"

in the phonetic style of Brazilian Portuguese, You would say it incredibly quickly so no non-native speaker could ever comprehend it, and with sounds that look nothing like the written words.

"Gee qui brow-fo ja ovo the laizsh do-oohg"

Also, "de" - the original "the" is voiced.

June 28, 2016 - 11:07

Anthony Sanchez

Yeah my example wasn't very good, since I ignored the "ee" sounds like I just find Brazilian Portuguese when spoken conversationally is far too quick for me to make out the individual words, and they seem to almost merge in between the "sh" and G sounds. Unlike Spanish where what is written is closer to how it's spoken phonetically.

My mess of words was my poor attempt at getting that across.

I dislike how my countrymen are just amazingly ignorant of Galician and Galician-Portuguese as a whole.

I mean, it's a really cool fact that our patronyms once we go far back are exactly the same as the Anglo-Norman ones.

Oh, shut up. Have you ever tried to learn any language besides English? Other Romance languages are like that as well. In fact, most languages have some annoying grammatical rules.

>and they seem to almost merge in between the "sh" and G sounds
The SH thing (pronouncing "ice" as "ishe") is common only in certain dialects. For most, though, end-syllable S can sound only as [s] or [z], never as [sh] or [zh].

The G thing you mentioned is probably in words like "dia" and "dinheiro"; yeah, Portuguese DI can sound like English GEE depending on the accent, and this is quite widespread in South America [besides Santa Catarina and Maranhão AFAIK].

Brasiliense accent is heavily influenced by the Northeastern [not even joking], but I assumed you were from NE just because of your R.

Leo Powell

From Old Galician to Portuguese it goes exactly like, for example for the surname Peres:

Peritz/Periç > Periz/Peris > Peres

That is only a general guideline though, most people in Alto Trás-os-Montes no longer speak Asturian but in small villages you might still find a few remnants

For non-natives foreign, any language sounds fast desu. I met a tourist from some Spanish-speaking country and when she said something to mer IO couldn't understand shit besides the repeated "gracias". It's a matter of getting used to the language, listen to music, games, any kind of media, really. That's also why English it's so easy to learn, it's everywhere

That's true. I'm sure us native English speakers understimate how hard it is to make out individual words in our sentences too.

I speak a basic level of French though and I do find it easier to make out the indivdual words when spoken than Portuguese. As you say it's all a matter of getting used to it.

June 28, 2016 - 11:37

Jason Gonzalez

wow, that would sound very different, right?

June 28, 2016 - 11:38

Aaron Miller

Keeping it to pronunciation instead of vocab or grammar, Gaúcho Portuguese is like:

* Ending E/O are open; they don't sound like I/U.
* Ending R is a tap; it sounds the same as the R between vowels.
* "Strong R" (word beginning, RR) is sometimes trilled, like in Spanish and Italian.
* Some speakers do NOT pronounce TI/DI as TSHI/DZHI.

>Also, no "r" distinctions
Most do the distinction, except German descendants in small villages. But then, this is not exclusive to gaúchos but also quite common in Paraná and Santa Catarina.

Not necessarily.

S palatalization ("dois" sounding like "doich") is also common in the Amazon Basin, Florianópolis* and I guess Recife?

*although Florianópolis Portuguese is so atypical the last thing he would notice would be the SH...
