My bro in law is Portuguese, but his dad is 1/2 Angolan and half White. His mum is white, so I assume he is 1/4 Angolan and 3/4 white Portuguese. He makes fun of the Brazillian accent often, however, I really like it, its like they are singing not talking!

They say that the Mainland Portuguese talk with a "posher" accent, you know, and that Maderians are much rougher and ready for a fight for example. I understand what they mean because the same thing applies for Mainland Turks and Turkish Cypriot Islanders.

However, whichever it is I think Portuguese is a beautiful language. except one word... for Knife sounds a bit naughty in English LOL
