	Portuguese phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Below is a sketch of the phonology of Portuguese.
		Portuguese has one of the richest vowel phonologies of all Romance languages, with seven (in Brazil) to nine (in Portugal) oral vowels, nasal vowels, and nasal diphthongs.
		In Brazilian Portuguese, the general pattern is that the stressed vowels /a ɐ/, /e ɛ/, /o ɔ/ neutralize to /a/, /e/, /o/, respectively, in unstressed syllables, as is common in Romance languages.

		In the case of the present volume, the language is Portuguese, and it is described within the framework of rule-based autosegmental Lexical Phonology.
		The former problem is particularly regrettable in a volume of this nature, since Wetzels (1991) is an article written in Portuguese, and one of the objectives of the authors (as stated in their preface) is to make available and expand upon analyses that have thus far appeared only in Portuguese.

	Philip Monahan - UF Journal of Undergraduate Research Paper
		Brazilian Portuguese (henceforth BP) is very restrictive in terms of its syllable structure, as the possible number of consonant combinations in both the onset and coda is far less than that of English.
		The aim of this paper is to analyze the interlanguage phonology of native speakers of BP learning English, and to determine the effects of these constraints on BP syllable structure, especially on the coda, on the language learner's pronunciation of the target language.
		In phonology, the syllable is divided into three parts, the onset, the nucleus and the rhyme.

	As Consoantes em Inglês e Português - English & Portuguese Consonant Phonemes Compared
		The transference of the Portuguese unaspirated stops will result primarily in a clear foreign accent (phonetic error), with the possibility of misunderstanding (phonological error), since they could be perceived as
		sounds in Portuguese (except in some dialects of the northeast, Santa Catarina and some border areas of Rio Grande do Sul), as alveolar stops are automatically palatalized in the presence of a high front vowel.
		In contrast with Portuguese, with its rich vocality and nasality and large number of diphthongs and even triphthongs, English has a strong consonantal character.

	Can you read this? REALLY AMAZING!!! \| Antimoon Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		My friend is Brazilian American (she was born in Brazil and growing up she alternated between living in the US and Brazil so her Portuguese is perfect) and she tried to teach me the 'r' sounds of her accent (she's from Brasilia, so a pretty standard accent).
		One of the most striking examples of the orthographical similarity between Spanish and Portuguese and the pronunciation divide for me is the word "rã" in Portuguese and "rana" in Spanish.
		Words that havwe "te" and "ti" are ponounced "tche" and "tchi" while in Portugal they are pronouced the same way as in English only lighter and "de"and "di" are pronounced "dge" and "dgi" will once again in Portugal they are pronounced the same way as in English.

		According to Smith (1977), stress assignment in Batticaloa Creole Portuguese (BCP) is fully predictable: stress falls on the last underlying long vowel of a word, or on the first short vowel of a word having no long vowel.
		BCP has phonemic vowel length, although long vowels only surface when they are stressed in a word-initial syllable.
		This is taken as support for the notion of candidate-to-candidate faithfulness, the kernel of McCarthy's original Sympathy proposal.
