Carlos Tufvesson

Hi, Bepp!

I'm unable to find any reliable sources that say that Carlos Tufvesson is, in fact, gay - at least not in English. From what I can tell, the article here is a translation you did of the pt article, right? Would you mind taking a look at these: [1] and let me know if any of them say he's gay? Thanks so much! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no question as to Carlos Tufvesson's homosexuality. He routinely appears in Brazilian national TV shows advocating for equal access to civil marriage (gay marriage). And he has published many articles about this subject which also have been read nationwide. Yes he is one of the most important fashion designers in Brazil today, that being the man's profession... however, not to mention his long standing LGBT right's advocacy and permanent relationship with "husbund" and achitect Piva would be, well, let's just say, a tad bit prescriptive... (and NO, I do not work for or with him [smiles]) --Bepp (talk) 05:39, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but can you provide a source that says so? I mean, I can't just add "everyone knows" to the article :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 12:53, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Smiling...) You really are making me do your work for you, no?!

Here is this article by Sérgio Ripardo that was published in 2006 by the FOLHA ONLINE, a major Brazilian newspaper, reading "Carlos Tufvesson dresses celebrities and defends civil unions" ("Carlos Tufvesson veste celebridades e defende união civil")http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/ilustrada/ult90u65848.shtml

Umm - *you* wrote the article without a citation, not me :) I'm just glad there's someone around who can speak Portuguese, since English refs are few and far between! Thanks very much - I'll add that to his article. Happy editing! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 14:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, sorry. Should you ever need any help with Portuguese, do let me know. By the way, I also wanted to show this article here: http://www.farofadigital.com.br/circuito_tuf.htm an article that is titled "Carlos Tufvesson joins [the association] ABRAGAY" (published in March, 2008). The first paragraph reads thusly: "Carlos tufvesson, one of the most impactfull voices in defense of the rights of homosexuals in Brazil is the newest member of ABRAGAY - an association bringing together homossexual men which proposes to fight against homophobia and defend human rights and citizenship for all, in particular for gays." Bepp (talk) 14:34, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should that be added to the article, too? What's farofadigital? Looks like a radio station? Is it a reliable source? Thanks again! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think we are fine with the one ref you added... Farofa Digital is an alternative culture portal out of the Northeast of Brazil; and I don't know how stable their pages are. Take care. Bepp (talk) 01:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German Brazilian

Hi Bepp. Your edit here refers. It is too much information of the infobox. This whole section:

"there are smaller populations with their own variants of Hunsrückisch in Santa Catarina and Espirito Santo; along with other smaller groups of Brazilian German dialects; Brazil has the world's largest population of speakers of Germanic Pomeranian (Pommersch) or East Low German (not to be confused with the slavic Kashubian language of the Lechitic languages spoken in northern Europe)."

is best integrated elsewhere on the page. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 22:14, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Rui. Done! Paul Beppler (talk) 01:39, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Riograndenser Hunsrückisch

Hi Bepp. Would you be able to find a piece of voice recording of Riograndenser Hunsrückisch. See example here of the standard Hunsrückisch. As a separate issue, I see the German article includes the alternative name "Katharinensisch". Can you comment on that? Then finally, to satisfy my personal curiosity, how do you pronounce the "h" in the word "Hunsrückisch" in Brazil? Like the "r" in "Luciano Ruck (Runsrückisch) or like the normal "h" in German, such as Hanover, Hamburg (Hunsrückisch) or silent as in Portuguese "(h)omem", "(h)orta, (Unsrückisch)? Thanks, regards and bom trabalho. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 19:41, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rui, sorry about the wait.

Here is a language sample (voice) as per your request: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9ZVddfwdCE (I have others, for example this is me teaching the number in the language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azFdlH30Tk0 ; furthermore, here is a tv-report in Portuguese, in which however the Riograndenser Hunsrückisch language is featured and can be heard clearly). I'm unsure what Katharinensisch is suppose to mean exactly but it doesn't mean Riograndenser Hunsrückisch - these two terms really should not be used as synonyms. I will try and edit that sometime soon. Here is a very solid scholarly reference which may come in handy, as far as identifying Riograndenser Hunsrückisch as a German variety on its own: "Hunsrückisch in Rio Grande do Sul - Ein Beitrag zur Beschreibung einer deutschbrasilianischen Dialektvarietät im Kontakt mit dem Portugiesischen" by Cléo Vilson Altenhofen, 1995. Veröffentlichung des Instituts für geschichtliche und Landeskunde an der Universität Mainz E. V. / Mainzer Studien zur Sprach- und Volksforschung 21. Franz Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart - Germany. Detail: Riograndenser Hunsrückisch in the last almost two centuries of its history has spread first west within Rio Grande do Sul state ("Altkolonie", the Old Colony region, then "Neikolonie", in High German "Neukolonie", the New Colony region); but then it also spread organically into Argentina, the western portions of the state of Santa Catarina (as in, please see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Jo%C3%A3o_do_Oeste , and Paraná. Meanwhile, during this same period of time there were other much, much smaller settlements of Hunsrückisch speakers, speakers of the same European original Hunsrückisch dialect (usually called Hunsrücker Platt there, where it historically is divided into two main varieties, divided by the St. Goar "dat/das" line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankt_Goar_line ) in other parts of Brazil, like in the East coast of Santa Catarina (please see: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B4nio_Carlos_%28Santa_Catarina%29 ) and upwards from the state of Rio de Janeiro, in the state of Espirito Santo. Finally as far as your question regarding the pronunciation of the "h" in Brazil. Generally in southern Brazil, even non German speakers are familiar with German language sounds, if nothing because the vast number and diversity of German last names around. In that context, "Hunsrückisch" is pronounced more or less linke in German: húns-ri-quíx, the "h" being pronounced - unlike in Portuguese when people pronounce "Humberto" in practice as "um-ber-to. However, that said, when people pronounce a Brazilianized version of the name "Hunsrückisch", namely "Hunsriqueano", than the "h" will be silent, like in "Henrique", which sounds like "en-ri-que"; along those lines, "Hunsrück" (the region in southwest Germany which gave name to the dialect) when Brazilianized will be "Hunsrique", pronounced "uns-ri-que". I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me further if you need to. Paul Beppler (talk) 10:59, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
