Fair enough — many websites do use the US flag as shorthand for English, even though it is technically inaccurate. My point was only that “Brazilian” is not the name of a language: Brazil speaks Portuguese, just as the US speaks English.

“Brazilian” isn’t a language, just like “American” isn’t a language. Brazil speaks Portuguese, and the US speaks English. Nice try, though.

Why do they speak “Brazilian” in Portugal? Same reason people in England speak “American”, obviously. Basic history took the day off, I see. 😅
