I'm fascinated by the Devin Nunes pronunciation thing. Ask any Portuguese speaker, they're going to say NU-nees. He doesn't.

Devin Nunes pronounces his last name NU-ness. That's cool, whatever. Except most people are pronouncing *that* wrong.

Nunes is a family name on my husband's side. They pronounce it Nu-ness.

That makes sense if they're Spanish speakers. It's a different pronunciation in Portuguese.

They are Portuguese. It's definitely interesting. I had no idea it wasn't a traditional pronunciation.

Now I'm wondering if people in Brasil for some reason pronounce it differently...

look i'd say even within Brazil, we pronounce it differently depending on where we are from.

I've only ever heard it one way in the south of brasil... Didn't know it's pronounced differently elsewhere. @NicoleFroio @wpbeyer

in rio, for example, the s will sound more like sh, in Sao Paulo it will be flatter.

rhythm of pronunciation will change as you go north, nearer the border sometimes sounds like spanish.
