I agree with Jimbo here. Portuguese is one language,
Just to be clear, and I'm not disagreeing with James at all, I just wanted to make clear that *I* have not said that "Portuguese is one language". I am not even remotely qualified to make a judgment about that.
What I am qualified to do is to talk about the right kinds of reasons we should use for deciding the matter, reasons that for example don't include nationalism, and that do include trying to relax and get along with people and try hard to learn about other people.
