Brazil's inhabitants are descendants of a mixture of people. Portuguese colonizers mixed with the native Indians and African slaves (mostly of Yoruba and Quimbundu origin, corresponding to modern-day Nigeria Benin and Angola). Dutch and French colonization also took place in the Northeast. In the 19th century, waves of German, Italian, Polish and Japanese immigrants added new elements to the mixture. Brazilians are perhaps one of the most racially mixed peoples in the world. (I descend from Italian and Portuguese...)
Portuguese is the national language, but Brazilian Portuguese is very different in accent and intonation from the language spoken in Portugal or in other former Portuguese colonies. Some people suggest that Brazilians actually speak ''Brazilian" much in the same way that Americans might be said to speak ''American" rather than English.

I agree :-) (Huh?? well basically none asked for my opinion lol).

In Brasil you can find such large communities from all over the world!
I heard that the bigest lebanese community abroad lives in Brasil...

For differences between Portuguese spoken in Brasil and Portuguese spoken in Portugual, is it just about the accent?? Or also about the vocabulary?
