Is it Brasil or Brazil?


The Olympics 2016 are now on, so a good time to raise this interesting subject.

Having lived in various parts of South Americas,Brasil, for at least a year, I can confirm that as far as the locals are concerned there is no Z in the name Brasil.


File image, my thanks for it use.

That is the huge Maracana stadium in the distance.


Please write Brasil next time! 


I have a match box here ,made by OLHO, it is marked Industria Brasilia.


Justin who is a regular viewer of this blog found a very interesting web site on the subject.
