How do Brazilians say their language is called? Portuguese or Brazilian or Brazilian Portuguese?

Answer 1

As Brazilians, we refer to our language simply as Portuguese - or português. We would only mention that our Portuguese is Brazilian if we are in a context or in a situation that would requires that distinction. Did you know that Portuguese is spoken in eight countries?

Answer 2

Oi Lorie, it depends! If we are in Brasil we say that we speak Português. If we are in other countries and if it's necessary to differenciate from European Portuguese, we say Brazilian Portuguese. We would never say only "Brazilian", it sounds wrong.
