Isn't it a bit awkward that the pronunciation of "Distritu Federal" shown in the article is not the pronunciation of those who actually live there?
- What is the correct pronunciation then? Dzhish-trEEtu FedrAu? //Big Adamsky 14:00, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
dʒis.'tɾi.tu fe.de.'ɾaw/
We do not palatalise "s" before consonants here, and the "r" in "Federal" is a single flap. In fact, using "X" in such case sounds like a foreign accent - I don't know of any Brazilian accent with such pronunciation for intervocalic single "r" (You'd need to write "Federral" to have the uvular sound).
I already fixed it, if you don't mind.
The picture displayed as the Praça dos Três Poderes actually shows the Esplanada dos Ministérios. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.37.255.46 (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
