Portuguese dialects: Guess

[Marinus]

It is from the Azores, you guessed the region correctly. It is from a specific island of the archipelago though (each has its own accent).

Ah sweet! got something right at least, I have no idea which of the Islands that accent comes from though.

That accent is from São Miguel. It is the most peculiar Azorean accent but the other islands have different accents.


Want to give a try on the second sample I posted? I will give you a clue, it is found in the American continent.

The correct answer is Papiamento language. It is the official language of two nations: Aruba and Curaçao.

"Papiamento is a Portuguese-based creole language spoken in the Dutch West Indies. It is the most-widely spoken language on the Caribbean ABC islands, having official status in Aruba and Curaçao. The language is also recognized in Bonaire by the Dutch government.

Papiamento is based largely on Portuguese language with some elements of grammar and vocabulary deriving from African languages, a strong influence from Spanish, and some vocabulary from Indigenous American languages, as well as English, and Dutch. There is some degree of mutual intelligibility with both Portuguese and Spanish."

There's so much out there about my own languages that I don't know about, very interesting stuff!

Yes, it is from the Azores. Island of São Miguel, where Rabo de Peixe is located but the sample was recorded by a man of Ponta Garça.
