message: From the article:
The distinctive character of the mineiro accent is derived from the Portuguese then spoken in the region of Minho, northern Portugal, where most migrants came from.
Definitely unlikely.
Minhoto is a Northern Portuguese accent. It is characterised by the absence of opposition between /b/ and /v/ and the preservation of the /ei/ and /ou/ diphtongs. The mineiro accent preserves the opposition between /b/ and /v/ and loses the diphtongs, that become, respectively, /e/ and /o/. Conversely, mineiro accent diphtongates final vowels followed by /s/, and loses the opposition between /lh/ and the iod - two features that are not at all shared by the minhoto accent.
Unless some evidence is brought to support this, I'm going to remove it. Ninguém (talk) 01:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minho? 

message: IBGE {see more:Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística} considers the mineiro as a dialect. The pronunciation of mineiro have some variants. It depends on the region you are. The pronunciation of the mineiro vary. The most common (speaked about 75% of the mineiros) is shown in the article. Dfdc (talk) 00:50, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: It's a dialect and pronunciation

message: I removed this characteristc. I am from East MG and now I leave in Belo Horizonte, but I have never heard a single person say [dʒiˈzɛhtu] instead of [deˈzɛɾtu]. That is way misplaced. Perharps someone heard this when was in the Caipira regions of MG, the ones close to São Paulo. Occasionaly saying dʒi instead of deˈ is common in most of Brazil, including MG, but one of the distintions between Mineiro and Caipira is that the second one use it in much more words. The best example I know is the word "depois", allways pronounced with dʒi in São Paulo, but never in this way in Mineiro accent. Perharps it needs better examples for the occasional affrication, with words such as "demais", wich, unlike "deserto", may have both pronounciations. However, I do believe most, perharps all, of the words in wich such a affrication can occur in Mineiro accent are pronounced the same way in virtually all of Brazil. 189.61.164.76 (talk) 06:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, I did a closer look on the characteristcs and most of the examples are too weird. O urubu doesn`t became u rubu, but u urubu. The contraction of two equal vowels is common in MG, but certainly not in this case. A way better example is Belo Horizonte, that is pronounced Belorizonte by most people here. And as for the transformation of inho in im, one of the most widespread characteristcs of this accent, the example is also bad. People don`t say pim instead of pinho, but they certainly do this in diminutives, such as copim instead of copinho. The whole section of characteriscs is a huge mass. 189.61.164.76 (talk) 06:27, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Occasional affrication of "d" before "e"?

message: I would like to see something about (at least) uai as a general interjection and trem as thing or person. Manolan1 (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unique Mineiro usages 

message: There's one "feature" of this accent that I felt could be mentioned. The map implies a hard switch to Baiano/Capira, but I think part of the charm is that it's not exactly like that. It merges with both as you go farther away from "canonical mineiro region" for lack of a better term. After all Mineiro Caipira is definitely a thing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.79.54.25 (talk) 11:25, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
