What is the difference between Brazil Portuguese Language and Portugal Portuguese Language?
The main difference is that, Brazilian Portuguese seems very "old-fashioned" compared to European Portuguese. Transplanted linguistic communities are very conservative, tending to retain old forms, meanings and pronunciations that may change or even become extinct in the "Mother Country." American English and Canadian French also illustrate this abundantly.
And like American English and Canadian French, Brazilian Portuguese also has been heavily influenced by indigenous speech and even by the speech of imported African slaves.
