HOw do I say "brazilians don't speak spanish" in spanish?

I think that would be better on my sig. Like irony, you know :D

"Los brasileños no hablan castellano" or "Los brasileños no hablan español". We use castellano to refer to our language better than español, but both are acceptable

 




I've never heard of this "castellano" word of which he speaks

That's because you live in the US. I've never heard anyone here refer to our language as "español", everyone uses "castellano"

 




Here, this is in Wiki

The name Castellano (Castilian), which refers directly to the origins of the Language and the sociopolitical context in which it was introduced in the Americas, is preferred in Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Chile, instead of español, which is more commonly used to refer to the language as a whole in the rest of Latin America.

Some Spanish speakers consider castellano a generic term with no political or ideological links, much as "Spanish" is in English.

In Spain "castellano" is used too in preference over "español"
