Thanks for the description of Brazilian dialects. 

I am a fan of Brazilian music, and have enjoyed a few movies, 
and your comments explain the variations in dialect that I've 
heard: such as why Elis Regina pronounced words differently 
(more of the "aish") than some others. And the silly joke 
about "Caravana Rolodai" being an attempt to spell the English 
"Holiday".

Thanks

Karl King
