Wow, she's indeed cute but THINKS she's speaking Portuguese just like MANY Brazilians think they speak Spanish when there are only some words used in the middle of the conversation with a Brazilian pronunciation.
I didn't know Shakira had Arab roots... I found another cutie speaking Portuguese: Laura Pausini! http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=0yf_1woT8Mw&feature=related http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=f6xzXFEewwo&feature=related But her Spanish is better I guess!!!
Can Spanish and Portuguese be considered part of a macrolanguage just like Arabic?
Yup, Portuguese-Galician-Spanish
just like Afrikaans-Flemish-Dutch-Low German-High German It's called a continuum
Both Portuguese and Spanish descend from Latin, but there's no continuum between them at all.
Continuum does not mean descending one from another, but they have the same parents ;)
''In sociolinguistics, a language continuum is said to exist when two or more different languages or dialects merge one into the other(s) without a definable boundary. '' Wikipedia
There are 2 parts of SpanishPort. continuum 1. Northern Portuguese - Galician - Northeastern Spanish 2. Southern Brazilian Portuguese - Fronteirisso (popularly: portunhol) - Uruguayan Spanish

I wonder where you people get this info.
In the North of Portugal people speak Portuguese, in Galicia, Galician. There's no continuum, or portunhol! That only appears when they want to communicate between themselves, it's an effort to communicate, not a dialect. Such nonsense. |
