Bairro (Q16837104) has the English description: "a Portuguese word that refers
to a community or region within a city or municipality". It is a subclass of
neighbourhood (Q123705).
There are many neighbourhoods in Brazil with the 'instance of' property set to
bairro (Q16837104), for example: Gamboa (Q3757943), Riachuelo (Q3934201) and
Noal (Q10337174).
Q16837104 includes sitelinks to enwiki and trwiki, but not to ptwiki. There is
a Bairro article on Portuguese Wikipedia, represented by the Wikidata item
neighbourhood (Q123705).
It would be useful if bairro (Q16837104) could include a sitelink to the bairro
article in Portuguese Wikipedia, but this is forbidden because it is already
linked to from another item.
In English Wikipedia we have articles describing two concepts, neighbourhood
and bairro, but in Portuguese Wikipedia there is only a single article for the
concept of neighbourhood.
There is another item, barrio (Q1761572), for the Spanish variant of this
word.
It would be useful if we could add a way to represent loan words in Wikidata.
Then we can add a statement that says Bairro (Q16837104) is a loan word of
neighbourhood (Q123705) in Portuguese.
