Presence of Tupi in Brazil As the basis for the língua geral, spoken throughout the country by white and Indian settlers alike until the early 18th century, and still heard in isolated pockets until the early 20th century, Tupi left a strong mark on the Portuguese language of Brazil, being by far its most distinctive source of modification. Tupi has given the Portuguese language: A few thousand words (some of them hybrids or corrupted) for animals, plants, fruit and cultural entities. Multiple names of locations, including states (e.g. Paraná, Pará, Paraíba) Some municipalities which have Tupi names: Iguaçu (y ûasú): great river Ipanema ('''y panema): bad, fishless water Itanhangá (itá + añãgá): devil's rock Itaquaquecetuba (takûakesétyba, from itá + takûara + kesé + tyba): where bamboo knives are made Itaúna ("itá + una"): black rock Jaguariúna (îagûara + 'í + una): small black jaguar Pacaembu (paka + embu): valley of the pacas. Paraíba (pará + aíba): bad to navigation or "bad river" Paranaíba (paranãíba, from paranã + aíba): dangerous sea Paraná-mirim (paranã + mirĩ): salty lagoon (literally: "small sea") Pindorama (from pindó, "palm tree", and (r)etama , country): palm country (this is the name the tupiniquins gave to the place where they lived, today known as Brazil). Piracaia ("pirá" + "caia"): fried fish Piraí (pirá + y): "fish water" Umuarama (ũbuarama, from ũbu + arama): where the cacti will grow Among the many Tupi loanwords in Portuguese, the following are noteworthy for their widespread use: abacaxi (pineapple, literally: "fruit with thorns") jacaré (caiman) mirim (small or juvenile) as in "escoteiro-mirim" ("Boy Scout") perereca (a type of small frog, also slang for vulva), literally: "hopper" peteca (a type of badminton game played with bare hands) literally: "slap" piranha (a carnivorous fish, also slang for immoral women) literally: "toothed fish" pipoca (popcorn) literally "explosion of skin" piroca (originally meaning "bald", now a slang term for penis) pororoca (a tidal phenomenon in the Amazon firth) literally: "confusion" siri (crab) sucuri (anaconda) urubu (the Brazilian vulture) urutu (a kind of poisonous snake) uruçu (the common name for Melipona scutellaris) It is interesting, however, that two of the most distinctive Brazilian animals, the jaguar and the tapir, are best known
