# Florianopolitan Azorean Heritage

Florianopolis, Brazil

Brought by Azorean settlers from the 18th century, the Florianopolitan dialect known as manezês gives the island its distinctive speech. With archaic words and a soft, sing-song sound, it survives in the old fishing villages as a living mark of Azorean heritage.
