Minas Gerais
Minas Gerais is ane o the 26 states o Brazil, o whilk it is the seicont maist populous, the seicont richest, an the fowert mucklest in aurie. Minas Gerais is the Brazilian state wi the mucklest nummer o Presidents o Brazil, the day's ane, Dilma Rousseff, bein ane o them. The caipital is the ceety o Belo Horizonte, near the central aurie. The main producer o coffee an milk in the kintra, Minas Gerais is kent for its heritage o airchitectur an colonial airt in historical ceeties lik Ouro Preto, Diamantina, Tiradentes an Mariana. In the sooth, the tourist points is the hydro mineral spas, lik Caxambu, São Lourenço, São Thomé das Letras, Monte Verde an the naitional pairks o Caparaó an Canastra. The landscape o the State is markit bi muntains, glens, an muckle auries o fertile lands. In the Serra do Cipó, Sete Lagoas, Cordisburgo an Lagoa Santa, the caves an waterfaws is the attractions. Some o Brazil's maist famous caverns is locate there.
Etymology
There twa interpretations for the oreegin o the name Minas Gerais. It comes frae "Minas dos Matos Gerais", the umwhile name o the colonial province, whilk means "Mines o the General Woods". Sae a first an mair common unnerstaundin affirms that the name simply means "General Mines", wi the wird Gerais serrin as an adjective tae the mines, whilk wis thairsels spread in several spots aroond a muckler region. Anither explication is that this ignores the twa muckle geographical spaces whilk conformed the state in its history: the region o the mines (Minas), an the region o the Gerais ("Matos Gerais" or "Campos Gerais", whilk means something close tae "General Fields"). This correspondit tae the auries o Sertão whilk wis farther an haird tae access (wi an economy based on fermin an agricultur) frae the minin spots (whase economic space wis urban frae its oreegin). The confuision comes frae the fact that the term "Gerais" is takken as an adjective tae "Minas" in the first version, although accordin tae this pynt o view it refers tae the region cried Gerais (as a noun). A further complication is that this isna a weel defined aurie on the map o the state, but raither a designation tae thir pairts ootwi the minin spots, mair effeirin tae the geography o Sertão, an mair isolate frae the state's nucleus.
Location

Mandarin Cheenese
Mandarin, is a category o relatit Cheenese dialects spaken athort maist o northren an sooth-wastren Cheenae. Acause Mandarin mainly includes the northren dialects, the term "northren dialect(s)" is an aa referred tae Mandarin Cheenese informally. When the Mandarin group is taken as ane leid, as is aften done in academic literature, the Mandarin leid haes mair native speakers than ony ither leid. The "standard" in Standard Mandarin refers tae the offeecial standardized leid o Cheenae based on the Beijing dialect.

Mandarin Cheenese
The uise o Mandarin as indicatin a groupin o northren Cheenese dialects is defined an uised mainly bi linguists, an is no commonly uised ootside o academic circles. Instead, Cheenese native speakers o forms o Mandarin ither than Staundart Mandarin teepically dae no describe the leid thay speak as "Mandarin", but rather are maist likely tae simply state the name o the geographic variant that thay speak, for ensaumple Sichuan dialect, Hebei dialect or Northeastren dialect, considered distinct frae the "Standard Mandarin" (Putonghua). Native speakers who are no academic linguists mey no recognise that the variants thay speak are clessifee'd in linguistics as members o Mandarin (or sae-cried "Northren Dialects") in a broader sense. Athin Cheenese social or cultural discourse, thare is no a common "Mandarin" identity based on leid; rather, thare ar strang regional identities centred on individual dialects, acause o the wide geographical distribution an cultural diversity o speakers.
As wi aw ither varieties o the Cheenese leid, thare is significant dispute as tae whether Mandarin is a leid or a dialect. See Varieties o Cheenese for mair on this issue.
