Maranhenses que moram longe matam a saudade da terra natal usando expressões próprias do estado. Se o maranhês impressiona e desperta a curiosidade de quem mora no próprio Maranhão, imagine de quem vem de outros estados e países? A variedade linguística local é enorme e o modo de falar tão próprio e característico dos maranhenses vem conquistando muita gente e inspirando títulos e muito conteúdo digital com a criação de podcasts, blogs, perfis na internet, além de estampar diversos tipos de produtos e serviços de empresas locais.
Com saudades do Maranhão, morando há 16 anos no Rio de Janeiro, um fotógrafo maranhense criou um perfil na internet no qual compartilha a culinária, brincadeiras e o ‘dicionário’ maranhês. “A primeira vez que fui a uma padaria no Rio, na inocência, pedi 3 reais de ‘pães misturados’. Quando falei isso, as pessoas pararam e me olharam de uma forma bem engraçada, aí já fiquei ‘encabulado, ó’ e o atendente sorriu e explicou que lá não existia pão misturado e, sim, pão francês e suíço. Depois foi a minha vez de explicar sobre os pães ‘massa grossa e massa fina’”, contou o fotógrafo, com humor.

Analysis of Linguistic Experience
The correct answer is option A. C) are constitutive of Brazilian Portuguese.
1. Focusing on Diversity as Part of the Whole
The text celebrates and exemplifies the richness of the "Maranhão dialect," but it does so within a larger context: Brazil. The photographer's account does not show linguistic isolation, but rather a... meeting between different ways of speaking the same language.
Let's analyze the key elements:
- The Meeting at the Bakery: The episode at the bakery in Rio de Janeiro is the perfect example. The man from Maranhão asks for "mixed bread" (a common term in Maranhão) and is initially misunderstood. The Rio de Janeiro clerk explains the local terms ("French bread and Swiss bread"). The man from Maranhão, in turn, explains his own terms ("thick dough and thin dough"). * The Negotiation of Meaning: What happens is not a complete failure of communication, but a negotiationBoth sides learn something new about how their language is spoken in another region. They are able to understand each other after mutual explanation. * Variety as Wealth: The text mentions that this diversity "is winning over many people" and inspiring digital content. This shows that differences are not problems to be corrected, but valuable cultural characteristics.
This exchange demonstrates that the Portuguese language in Brazil is not a monolithic, uniform block. It is, in fact, formed by all these regional varieties. The "Maranhão dialect," the "Rio de Janeiro dialect," the "Minas Gerais dialect," etc. constituteTogether, they form what we call Brazilian Portuguese.
2. Evaluation of Other Alternatives
-
A) They prevent mutual understanding: Incorrect. The account shows exactly the opposite: despite the initial confusion, there was understanding after the explanation. Communication was not impeded, it only required an adjustment.
-
B) They praise the Portuguese spoken in Maranhão: Incorrect. Although the text values the Maranhão dialect, the experience recounted (the bakery episode) shows a exchange between two varieties, without placing one as superior to the other. The focus of the issue is what... experience evidence, which is the existence of these multiple forms.
-
D) They require the dictionary definition of the terms used: Incorrect. The creation of informal "dictionaries" on the internet is cited as a curious and amusing consequence, not as a formal requirement for communication to occur.
-
E) They are restricted to colloquial communication situations: Incorrect. Although the example is colloquial (a bakery), linguistic variations permeate all spheres of social life, not being restricted only to informal moments.
3. Conclusion
The experiential account demonstrates in practice that the Portuguese language in Brazil is plural. The different ways of speaking, with their specific vocabularies for everyday things like bread, are the parts that, added together, They constitute the reality of Brazilian Portuguese..
