Are there no such ties between Portugal and Brazil???
Err.... not a lot....
For some reason that eludes me, they still want their language to be called portuguese, but it is farther from PT-portuguese than US-english is from UK-english.
It's not just the accent, it's the grammar, the way they write words (orthography). They seem unable to use the second person of the singular from any verb, they always go for the third, even when addressing the other person directly.
