Is Portugal a slavic country? At least their language sounds

>>66840674

It doesn't at all. You're clinical.

>>66840674
>Portugese
>Sounds Slavic
Assuming that you're mono-lingual, it would make sense that draw that conclusion simply due to lack of perspective.
An American tourist I met in Oslo even commented to me once how "Spanish" Norwegian sounded. I wasn't suprised when the conversaion later on reveiled that she only spoke English herself.

>>66840839
It does sound a bit Slavic desu

>>66840839
I'm not mono-lingual. I speak a bit Russian

>>66840939
Watched the video to the end now. He says "Joe, thanks for teaching me Portugese". So I doubt this is his native tounge.

>>66841071
I meant Portuguese in general. There have been times when there would be Portuguese spoken on the TV while I wasn't watching and it would give me a mindfuck because of the uncanny sense of familiarity.

Honestly, I imagine a Latinised Slavic language would sound a bit like Portuguese.

>>66840674

brazilian portuguese surely doesn't sound slavic at all.


what sounds slavic is european portuguese

>>66841231

Depends on the region, Manuel.

>>66841310

Yeah, in the region of portugal it does sound slavic.

>>66841231
that's because brazil is black, not slavic like portugal

>>66841834
t. 60%

>>66841231
It really does, keke

>>66840674
we are a proud african country
DELET THIS

>An American tourist I met in Oslo even commented to me once how "Spanish" Norwegian sounded.

The reasoning behind this is clear. Every language that didn't undergo the English language shift (i.e. every Indo-European language except for English) where the sound for a didn't mutate into ay, u into you, etc., might seem to belong in the same box to an English speaker.

>>66844077
WE

>>66840674
The only Latin language that sounds Slavic is Romanian, as we are basically slavic Roman-slaves.

>>66840674
Thats brazilian portuguese.Only european portuguese sounds slavic

>>66845075
WUZ

>>66840674
The end of the words with s we say sh and the accent that we speak sounds slavic too because it's not in a emotional way

>>66845708
Portuguese sounds Slavic as fuck, though. The Portuguese are Slavs who got lost on their way back from raiding Constantinople.

>>66850874
MOORS

I'm proud of being slav.

>>66853102
Nothing wrong with that my slavic brother

Why is Estonia so much better than rest of the Balts?

Portugal is Moor, senpai.

>>66853604
Brazil is black

>>66840839
It sounds slavic because of their S, SH, D and L sounds. I was in the London's tube once and two qts were talking, at first I was convinced they were slavs till I started to pay attention to their conversation and started to get some words.

>>66841231
Brazilian portuguese is easier to understand but it's atrocious. Iberian portuguese is much more pleasant. Brazilians speak like their voice cracks all the time.

>>66853517
Because Estonia is Bestonia

>>66845708
Romanian doesn't sound Slavic, of course it has many words taken from Slavs, but Slavic languages have even more words taken from Romance languages

>>66853313

Can they squat though?

>>66854870
No. We don't wear that much adidas either.

>>66854948
Fuck off then m80. You don't deserve to be slavic

>>66854982
No Portuguese here claimed to be Slavic. we just sound Slavic.

Ukrainians here are pretty cool, though.

>>66854750
It's a pretty interesting story, that battle. Really shows how strategy and knowledge of your technical capabilities can turn a battle.

>>66853877
This desu.
When this happens I first think «those slavs look like spics, they might be from ex-yugoslavia or gypsies» and then I grasp some words and I figure out they are portuguese.

That's interesting, yea, but I'm even more interested how those travellers saw exotic cultures - I'm reading pic related right now.

>>66855513
Neat. Our scholars were pretty instrumental in keeping our colonies together and in keeping our presence wanted for long.

It also helped gathering slaves and local pilots to cross harsher parts of the journeys and help us repair ships.

>>66853877
>Brazilian portuguese is easier to understand but it's atrocious. Iberian portuguese is much more pleasant.
If I remember correctly one Portuguese writer called Brazilian vernacular "Portuguese com açucar" and I agree, it's much "sweeter", but both are nice, imho.

>>66855698
I'd agree with it, but only when they are talking quietly and calmly. Bossa Nova is a good example of how sweet and sincere Brazilian can sound. When they chimp out (which does happen, lets be honest), it gets annoying very fast. When they speak too fast the rhythm starts becoming obnoxious.

If you meet an isolated Brazilian with nothing to prove, they usually are really nice here.

You can't really hate this:

>>66855837
Well, you would know better, my only experience is when I compare Portuguese Euronews to Rede Globo or Rede Record. In Brazil there are also very strong regional differences, for example these Br. TV stations I watch are usually located in SP, so they pronounce "s" like Latin "s", while in Rio (and in Europe) you pronounce it like "sh", BTW, this "sh" sound plus "j" and "ch" are probably the main reason why some people say that Portuguese sounds like Slavic languages (these sounds are very common in all of them), but Portuguese has also nasal vowels and in this case it's quite different - among Slavic languages only Polish has them.

>>66840839
it does sound slavic

I don't get you people.

>>66856569
Yes. That and the short 1-roll r's we have next to closed vowels, which the Spanish don't have. Brazilians have them less closed, but they still have a few.

>>66841231
I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was Polish

Why is Poortugal post-soviet tier?

We're the kind of broke that happens after you buy a nice house, not the kind of broke that can't afford a nice house.

>>66861625
but why aren't you getting dem monies anymore then?

>>66861968
Maintaining the house, basically.

We have a pretty decent NHS, great roads, good cheap-ish universities, somewhat decent transports.

They don't top charts or anything (well, the roads do), but they are still pretty competitive even by Western Europe standards, and especially compared to the former USSR countries.

>>66862081
Not saying that Portugal is former USSR tier, your wages are higher than almost all of them but still boggles my mind

>>66862487
Looking at the map I realize I mostly meant the green ones, and out of those really only the Baltics were USSR.

We're just a bit too far away from the action and too small to have any real pull. Things are starting to look a bit better with more companies coming here. Corruption hasn't helped either, but Italy is even worse than us and can get a slice of the money.

We've had shitty events every 50 years that crash our economy, so the fact we even existed past 1578 is a miracle.

This thread reminds of my experience in the US.

>Visit US 2 years ago
>Visit a city literally at the end of world because parents want to see the "real america"
>The city is named Hibbing
>It's literally almost a village even by Portuguese standards
>We go to eat at a pizza place called Sammy Pizza or some shit
>Pizza is pretty good
>We start talking in Portuguese to each other when we sit down
>Locals get curious
>They are also super friendly
>They start talking to us
>"You guys look like Europeans , you're tourists right"
>I say yes we're visiting and all that
>"By your language I would say you guys must be from Poland or something or are you not"
>They also use the negative while talking all the fucking time for some reason
>Dad is confused
>"We're from Portugal, bordering Spain, our language is Portuguese"
>Cue eyebrows raising
>"Portuguese is like Spanish is it not, that doesn't sound like Spanish at all"
>30 minutes of my father talking geography and language with random Americans

My bet is Americans aren't used to hearing many languages, so everything sounds different.


Euro Portugal does sound slavic as fuck as seen here though .>>66841231

>>66860431
POO

>>66865401
SHART

>>66865170
It's just that they have more contact with accents than languages. Euro Portuguese also has almost 0 projection worldwide, so it's not like it's too common to come across it.

Looking at a geographical map it's easy to assume that Portugal and Spain share a lot, but the peninsula is mostly empty and Portugal is very insular in a lot of ways, which can only really be seen in a population or topology map.

>>66865725
LOO

>>66840674
Portuguese are the lost slavic tribe

>>66841231
HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY DOES SOUND LIKE A SLAVIC LANGUAGE

HAHAHAHAAA

>>66840674
Portugal is baltic now, hands off.

Here's an Ukrainian immigrant here speaking Portuguese.

https://youtu.be/OW84qkzcMk4


Does it sound Slavic?
I'm an immigrant from Northern Europe myself but I never really developed an accent.

Of course they'd be surprised and ignorant.
The more rural and midwestern you are, the more and more isolated you are from other cultures.
I don't blame them, honestly, I've never met a Portuguese guy myself.
The only experience I have with someone speaking Portuguese was a Brazilian, and he obviously wasn't yuropean since he looked like a sexier Mexican.

>>66871647
They're were pretty cool consider they're lack of knowledge.

If the average Portuguese were like those dudes this country would be 1000 times better.

>>66854710
>Romanian doesn't sound Slavic
For us Romance speakers it does

Portugal is slavic in their heart

>>66873718
