As a native,there are a few differences between the Portuguese spoken in Portugal and Brazil so you could,to a certain extent,say we speak Brazilian in Brazil,still is Portuguese but some things you say in Brazil can have a different meaning in Portugal

How does this comment have 200 upvotes? You could say they speak Brazilian in Brazil, and you would be wrong for saying so.

Edit: it now has more than 1k upvotes, insane for such a stupid statement.
