WARNING: Bullying and violence may be distressing. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq8iqlZX0Fs) I can’t figure out where this takes place or what language they’re speaking. My best guess is somewhere in the Caucasus region, or some other part of the former Soviet Union. * * * brain damage eta Where **did** this video take place? ---

It sounds like Spanish to me. ---

Hard to understand with the poor quality and all the shrieking, but I’m pretty sure it’s Portuguese. ---

It sounds like Brazilian Portuguese. My cite? I am Portuguese/English, and I was brought up with Brazilians. ---

> [@lilihob](#): > > It sounds like Brazilian Portuguese. > My cite? > I am Portuguese/English, and I was brought up with Brazilians. Interesting. I would not have thought so, because it sounds different than other times that I’ve heard people speaking Brazilian Portuguese. The city also looks different from video I’ve seen from other cities in Brazil. The overcast sky, though, does seem like Brazil. Would anyone have an idea of what city in Brazil this is? ---

According to this Brazilian newspaper it happened in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, in the southern part of Brazil.

> [@voltaire](#): > > 😕 Right back at you… 😕 It’s a joke: a person would not get, or need, a “Brazilian”, that is, a [Brazilian wax](http://beauty.about.com/od/hairremoval/ht/bikiniwax.htm), if she had not yet reached puberty. ---
