Guinean Portuguese

Hey there, little one, do you know what a language is? It's a way we use words to communicate with each other. Now, there's a kind of language called Portuguese that is spoken in a few different countries, like Portugal and Brazil.

But today we're going to talk about another type of Portuguese called Guinean Portuguese. This is the way that people in Guinea-Bissau, a country in West Africa, speak the Portuguese language.

Now, you might be wondering how they started speaking Portuguese in Guinea-Bissau. It all goes back to a time when Portugal was a very powerful country and had a lot of colonies around the world. Guinea-Bissau used to be one of those colonies, and that's how the Portuguese language ended up being spoken there.

So, Guinean Portuguese is like regular Portuguese, but with some differences in the way people say certain words and phrases. For example, in regular Portuguese, the word for "chicken" is "frango," but in Guinean Portuguese, it's "galeto."

There are also differences in grammar and pronunciation. But the important thing to remember is that both regular Portuguese and Guinean Portuguese are still the same language, they're just spoken differently in different places.

So, that's what Guinean Portuguese is, it's a way of speaking the Portuguese language that's unique to Guinea-Bissau. I hope that helps you understand!
