Anyway, today I’m interviewing one of the last Confederados who still speaks English with a southern accent and even some unique words! The Confederados were descendants of Confederate soldiers who fled the U.S. after the Civil War. After settling in Brazil over 150 years ago, generations grew up in a new country, with many never having set foot in America. And still today some of them still speak English the way their great-grandparents did!

Daniel let me know that there is a slight misunderstanding in this video. He was not using "carriage" for "car", he was referring to pronouncing the word "garage" as "GAHrage" rather than "gaRAHge" as is the typical American pronunciation. The former is the British pronunciation. The point is that having left America before cars were a thing, his ancestors must have learned that word from the British they knew. By the way, it was interesting for me to learn in the process that the words "garage" and "carriage" despite sounding similar actually come from completely different (French) roots, "garage" originally meaning "to shelter" and "carriage" related instead to "carry". Cool huh?
