Caipira
Caipiras ( in Caipira dialect) are the traditional population of the Brazilian state of São Paulo. Later, with the expansion of São Paulo's influence to other regions of the country, other states also had Caipiras in their localities, like Goiás, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Paraná. All the regions where Caipira culture predominates are grouped into a cultural area, known since the 20th century as Paulistania. During the period of the Colonial Brazil, the Caipiras were speakers of the Paulista General Language, today a dead language; currently, they have their own dialect, which preserves elements of this language and Medieval Galician. The Caipira and its culture is considered by intellectuals as an evolution of the old Paulista society and the Bandeirante culture. Origin and etymology The first Caipiras were the Bandeirantes, a group of explorers who set out from São Paulo, exploring the backlands in search of metals and precious stones. When th ...

Caipira Dialect
Caipira (Caipira pronunciation: ajˈpiɹɐor ajˈpiɹ ) is a dialect of the Portuguese language spoken in localities of Caipira influence, mainly in the interior of the state of São Paulo, in the eastern south of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the Triângulo and southern Minas Gerais, in the south of Goiás, in the far north, center and west of Paraná, as well as in other regions of the interior of the state. Its delimitation and characterization dates back to 1920, with Amadeu Amaral's work, ''O Dialecto Caipira''. History The formation of the caipira dialect began with the arrival of the Portuguese in São Vicente in the sixteenth century. Ongoing research points to several influences, such as Galician-Portuguese, represented in some archaic aspects of the dialect, and the ''língua geral paulista'', a Tupian Portuguese-like creole codified by the Jesuits. The westward colonial expansion by the Bandeirantes expedition spread the dialect throughout a dialectal and cultural con ...

Paulistania (region)
Paulistânia is the geographical denomination of the caipira people, being a historical-cultural region. It is made up of the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Its territories were explored by the bandeirantes, becoming a field of Paulista influence and an area of accommodation for its caipira culture. In addition to the territories that normally make up Paulistânia, the caipira cultural influence evidently reached other states, such as Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, where the main influence was through tropeirismo, giving rise to the population of ''birivas'', who are its descendants. The idea of a caipira cultural region was established thanks to a conservative historiography, linked to the patriotic spirit of intellectuals from São Paulo, who wanted to define a certain territory for the 'Paulista race'. The concept of the region began to be worked on from the 1930s onwards by Alfredo Ellis Jr., and was then co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Italo-Paulista
The Italo-Paulista (''Íntalo-baolista''), also known as Paulistalian, is a language that blends Italian dialects with the Caipira dialect. It was widely spoken by Italian immigrants and their descendants until the early 1960s in São Paulo State, especially in the Greater São Paulo region. Italo-Paulista or Paulistalian was commonly spoken on the streets of São Paulo. In 1911, the poet Oswald de Andrade, of Portuguese descent, under the Italian pseudonym "Annibale Scipione," created the magazine ''Cartas D’Abax’O Pigues'', using language as a means of publication. Consequently, in 1915, the Brazilian magazine ''O Queixoso'' used the expression "''língua do Abaixo Piques''" ("Abaixo Piques language") to promote the Italo-Paulista publication ''La Divina Increnca'' by Juó Bananère. History At the beginning of the 20th century, Italian and its dialects were spoken almost as much as Portuguese in São Paulo, influencing the formation of the current Paulista dialect. Wit ...

Paulista General Language
The Paulista General Language, also called Southern General Language and Austral Tupi, was a lingua franca and creole language formed in the 16th century, in the Captaincy of São Vicente. Today it is only of historical interest, as it has been a dead language since the beginning of the 20th century. It constituted the southern branch of the Língua Geral. With influence on Brazilian toponymy, the Paulista General Language bequeathed many current Brazilian toponyms, such as Aricanduva, Baquirivu-Guaçu, Batovi, Batuquara, Bicuíba, Biriricas, and others. In 2014, during research at the University of Campinas, a new source of studies for the language was identified. The document, entitled ''Vocabulário Elementar da Língua Geral Brasílica'' (Elementary Vocabulary of the General Brasílica Language), was published in 1936 in the Journal of the Municipal Archive of São Paulo. Although the title mentions the Brasílica language (ancient Tupi), the vocabulary written by Jos� ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
