''o acesso de falantes do português popular ao português culto ''

Naum existe o português ''popular'' nem o ''culto'', mas sim o ''informal, coloquial'' e o ''formal, arcaizante''

Tu sacou meu bem?
Vá pra puta que lhe pariu.

««Naum existe o português ''popular'' nem o ''culto''»»

Translation:
"The "educated" or "popular" Portuguese [language] does not exist."


««Vá pra puta que lhe pariu.»»

Very good example!
I can perfectly understand why you say that there is no "educated" Portuguese language! The "educated" language is something that is not present in the example you gave of your language skills. You lack a refined vocabulary!
An educated language requires years of study to master and is used by more sophisticated people. So I can understand why you say it does not exist. On the other hand you make very good use blasphemous or obscene language.

" no one knows where the US "latino" came from, but on view is that we got the name from the natives of Latin America - who called themselves "latino". I think this seems pretty plausible. "

"latino" is just the spanish word from "latin". It has Nothing to do with a native indian origin, but is a reference to Spain, Portugal and France.

Mexican group RBD is enjoying popularity in Brazil. They sing both
in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.

Latin American singers and groups are loved in Brazil,
unlike Portuguese ones which are virtually ignored.

If Portuguese groups re-sang their songs into Brazilian Portuguese,
they might have some success in Brazil. With their heavy
dialect no understands, it is very very difficult.

Ooops! And all this time I thought it was the Portuguese that completely ignored the Brazilian song market!

You seem desperate to have Portuguese singers in Brazil!

It's not EUPortuguese, but Continental Portuguese. Try learning some basic English.

Kendra: making a fool of your self again?

“European Portuguese also known as Continental Portuguese is the standard Portuguese used in Portugal.”

I cannot understand why there is an argument about whether the Portuguese spoken in Portugal should be called 'Continental Portuguese' or 'European Portuguese'. If anything, I'd probably think that 'European Portuguese' would the more appropriate name since Portugal is in Europe and 'continental' is a rather vague term which doesn't necessarily imply Portugal over Brazil. If anything, one might interpret 'Continental Portuguese' as a means of distinguishing it from the Portuguese spoken in Madeira, the Azores and Cape Verde, rather than from Brazilian Portuguese, Angolan Portuguese or Mozambican Portuguese.

Agree, Brazil, Angola or Mozambic are also in continents. We do not make that distiction in Portuguese, it is no logic.
