Language[edit]

There has been some misunderstanding, since Brazil speak Spanish, add Spanish to the official languages of Brazilians Mrjack174 (talk) 11:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just because people speak Spanish in Brazil does not mean it's an official language there. ― Blaze WolfTalkblaze__wolf 14:30, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some people in the United States can speak Japanese, doesn't mean it's an official language there either... TypoEater (talk) 20:45, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hy Brasil[edit]

Various Medieval and Renaissance writers wrote of a (Christian) land of wonders and plenty, called Hy Brasil (modulo haphazard spellings). For example, stories about Marco Polo (not necessarily by him) related to his travels meeting a saintly ruler of that land. I don't know if those were influenced by the land whose name roughly approximates the second word of that, or whether European naming of that land was influenced by those myths. But surely some relating of that mythologic pre-history to the reality of the actual land now bearing the name would be worth mentioning. -- Eddy 84.212.132.95 (talk) 23:39, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
