The Confusing Chart
The chart under "where is this language spoken" is a little to much information, i was quite confused by it at first look. This confusion was compounded by the fact that the foot notes are in portuguese. Prehapes we can simplify it in some way (having 2 columns, one with percent, the second with numbers, then having translations of the nations names into english)? N1person 13:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

How about a tongue twiser?

 * Shouldn't that be "Três tigres tristes"? -- Harry Wood (discuss • contribs) 10:51, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Add pronunciations?
How hard would it be to include proper pronunciations? Ideally, pronunciation could be indicated by sound files (I think Wiki-oriented articles like .ogg files), or at least by including the IPA notation.

Hi I made a fairly major edit but forgot to log in.


 * I removed the "confusing chart" because it was not necessary for the scope of this page - it was also in Portuguese which wasn't very helpful.


 * I redid the "where" section - how many children know what "assimilate" means?


 * I also changed the history section to make it more readable.


 * I changed the links beneath the flags to point to the English Wikipedia article rather than the Portuguese one.

If someone added the pronounciation (not IPA - again how useful is this to children) to the phrases it would help. I would but I don't speak Portuguese.
