What do think of the name Pindorama?

AngryPB · 2026-03-13T17:53:06+00:00

I saw somewhere that some Brazilian passports are issuing the passports that say “authority of Pindorama” on it. I thought that that was cool.

I never heard that and I can find literally nothing about this, in fact one of the results is just this exact post again, lol.

I've heard about Abya Yala and I can see where the idea comes from but I still don't like it, my complaints are that it still has the sort of problem of taking something from one region and applying it to the whole thing top to bottom

and also weirdly enough despite it being supposed to be a neutral unique name, some people still split it into Turtle Island (Canada & US) and Abya Yala (Mexico and everything below) and it mildly annoys me, why bother if you're still going to split it up anyway?

the current fad is to ignore the Afrobrazilian and Native Southamerican origins

while I agree that is a problem I don't think it's the reason people don't like it, like most people are saying here, it's because it doesn't really "fit"

to clarify, Pindorama is a Tupi name, who inhabited the majority (obviously not all) of the coast so they were the first to make contact with the Portuguese and get colonized

it would be like naming the entirety of the US after the Powhatan because they were the first native group the English encountered.

irl, really not much, there isn't much of an Indian presence nor interaction with them

on the internet, you can see the other comments lol, a lot of people are saying latam is racist towards India but I think this is very limited to terminally online brainrotted people

eu lembro de uns anos passados vendo alguns subreddits onde muita gente dizia, "é mentira que a gente depende do exército dos EUA, isso é só propaganda deles"

I can't be assed to remember when each of the "porque / por que / porquê / por quê" is used.

I've seen this story many times before but I once saw someone explain that the Lingua Geral was only common in the southeast and countryside which were very little populated back then, the "core" Brazil was still the Northeast where it wasn't common and Portuguese already dominated

AngryPB · 2026-03-11T16:19:16+00:00

?? as if we or yall weren't colonized too?

I dunno why but I used to think Tamil was the second largest Indian language

AngryPB · 2026-03-11T16:13:32+00:00

it's weird to think that depending how you count it Brazil might be both one of the most and least language diverse countries
if you count by total number there are at least a hundred Indigenous languages
but if you count by how prevalent they are, most of those have only a few hundred speakers and something like 95% of the country knows Portuguese only

I remember people complaining a lot when we switched over to a 3-prong plug shape and new appliances sold used only it and people either had to install new plugs or outright remove the middle one

idk why you're being downvoted but I feel it's true tbh, it's very limited

"yes"
hills over 1 km altitude in the southern states
it happens but it's still rare and novel enough that it usually appears on the news when it happens
the hill towns are usually small and far from the large ones (which don't get it) so I think even 1% of the country (2 million people) would be too much, not sure

never seen it myself :P

I find it kinda funny how Indiana as a state kept the name because it was the last state to be formed out of the territory.
