does Brazil have an outsized influence on Portuguese language development through media?
I don’t know since I only interact with other Brazilians, though from what I can remember of early to mid 2010s internet, European Portuguese was preferred over Brazilian Portuguese (as in, when a website or app had a PT translation it’d wouldn’t be PT-BR).
Nowadays, I believe both are commonly available.
Are Brazilian and continental Portuguese different enough to be called dialects?
The most common way to refer to Brazilian Portuguese that I’ve seen is that it’s a variant of European Portuguese, I’m not a linguist so I don’t know the difference between a variant and a dialect.






I’m bad at describing it, so hear it for yourself!
