Nothing pedantic about it. You said most Brazilians speaks Spanish they don’t. My first boss was Spanish and fluent in English, Italian and German. I didn’t assume most Spaniards spoke those languages. BTW, a pendant. please log in to view this image
They also speak/understand Portuguese in Uruguay in the border regions with Brasil. Brazilians find it easier to understand Galician than European Portuguese (linguistically, Galician is extremely similar to Portuguese but today is spoken with a Castillian-influenced pronunciation). Also, Brazilian Portuguese is somewhat influenced by Spanish which is a syllable-timed language whereas European Portuguese is a stressed-timed language (just like English). So all this means that Spaniards consider Portuguese to be Spanish spoken by a drunk Russian.
