Brazilian "Portuguese" is not a uniform class, but rather a continuum of dialects and sociolects that may be very different from each other. What Netflix or Google labels as “Brazilian Portuguese” and tends to be taught
to foreigners is normally a mashup of the upper and middle-classs dialects of the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. That is basically the language used on national TV by news anchors or talk show hosts, as well as in Brazilian telenovelas, children’s programs, and movie dubbings, but is a bit of an artificial construct. “Brazilian Portuguese” may also refer to the contemporary standard written language used for example in printed newspapers in Brazil, especially again in Rio and São Paulo.
