European Portuguese (pt-PT) is a rich language spoken mainly in Portugal. Its different names, like "Lusitanian Portuguese," highlight its diverse nature and rich history.

This language has distinct phonetic and articulatory features. Some sounds are unique, setting it apart from many other languages. The specificities of its pronunciation play a huge role in its charm and authenticity.

European Portuguese has some pronunciation differences compared to other dialects, especially the Brazilian accent.

Vowel Reduction. In this language, unstressed vowels tend to be reduced or even dropped. This is not as pronounced in Brazilian Portuguese (BP).

Nasal Vowels. While both dialects have nasal vowels, the nasalization in Lusitanian sounds more emphasized and distinctive.

Sibilants. The 's' sound at the end of words in European Portuguese is pronounced like [ʃ] (as in "shoe"), particularly in coastal areas, while in Brazilian Portuguese it's pronounced as [s].

"D" and "T" Sounds. Before the letters "i" and "e," the "d" and "t" are pronounced closer to their respective English sounds. In Brazilian Portuguese, they're softer and can sound closer to the English "j" and "ch," respectively.
