im sorry, but this might be a bit long…

hello people of lemmy, this is not a question to all of you, but some. For context, im brazilian, i was born in the northeast region of my country, i was raised mostly by my two parents, and a family friend, who i call my aunt, also northeastern. in 2010, we migrated to the state of São Paulo, since, Piauí, the state we come from, and northeast region as a whole is quite subdeveloped. Life was hard there, which forced us to move. I came to here at around 6, and grew around the locals.

Brazil is quite a big country, at around the same size of the continental united states, and with a size comparable to Europe. Its also quite densely populated for such a big single country, as such that one region has a radically different culture from another(like northeast(my home region) and the southeast(the region São Paulo is located at)). I for example, as a norteastern developed a mix of accent between my home region and the local accent.

I am curious, you, which have faced a similar situation, moving from one region to another with the same, or similar language. Being migrating within the same country, or between different countries, how do you feel like? how do you talk? what do you identify with?
