_Brazilian German._ _Portuguese._
algodong for algodão. capong " capão, garrafong " garrafão, patakong " patacão. questong " questão, sertong " sertão, violong " violão. 2) The _'j'_ instead of remaining sonant as in Portuguese, becomes surd.[46] Thus _Brazilian German._ _Portuguese._ feschong for feijão, schakaré " jacaré. Schwong " João. 3) In the case of infinitives the final _'-n'_ is not sounded, particularly in sections influenced by the Hunsrück dialect. These forms are therefore pronounced, e.g., _Brazilian German._ _Portuguese._ amoliere for amolieren. kapine " kapinen. pusche " puschen. tocke " tocken. |
