Accurate reference to Portuguese language

Dear Sirs,

Your website www.santander.com, on its main page, gives your readers the possibility to choose the language: English, Portuguкs and .... "Brasileiro".

Being Santander a financial group in expansion, namely in Latin America, Portugal and UK, it is understandable the given language choice. Think Global, act local, the marketers advise.

However, the language "Brasileiro" does not exist.

Have you ever heard about the languages Colombian, Mexican, Argentinean, Chilean, Peruvian, ... ? I believe you have not. Because the language spoken in those Latin American countries is Spanish. Do U.S. citizens speak American or English?

The official language in Brazil is Portuguese ("Portuguкs"). It is true that there are local differences, but comparable to the ones existing between the Spanish spoken in Spain and the Spanish spoken in any Spanish speaking country in Latin America.

Consequently, we the undersigned, would truly appreciate that Santander deletes the reference to "Brasileiro" in its website. Instead, we would suggest that Santander follows a more appropriate solution used by other companies and institutions: i.e., to mention "Portuguкs" with either the Portuguese or the Brazilian flag in front of it.

We look forward to the implementation of this change.
