Saying my name

Napoleão de Souza is my family name.

It follows Portuguese tradition in being long!

English speakers usually pronounce it as:

[ nəpʰəlɪˈaw dəˈsuːzə ]

Whereas in careful Brazilian Portuguese:

[nɐpoleˈɐ̃ʊ̯̃ dʒɪˈsoʊzɐ]

And this is the way I myself say it:

However, I don’t mind hearing it pronounced with any accent since I know nasalized diphthongs can be hard to produce
