Well, not the same kind of Portuguese anyway. In a highly controversial vote that’s been debated for many years, the Portuguese Parliament has effectively changing the language of Portugal to the type of Portuguese spoken in Brazil. This new standardization requires a change in spelling for hundreds of words, adds three new letters to the alphabet and adds new words to the vernacular. All books will have to be republished in Brazilian Portuguese, and school curriculums will now be taught using the new language standardization. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://gulfstreamblues.cafebabel.com/en/post/2008/06/03/Portugal-Changes-its-Language " target="blank">gulfstreamblues.cafebabel.com/en/post/2008/06/03/Portugal-Changes-its-Language </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
