Brazil (Caipira / São Paulo Interior)
Brazil · São Paulo Interior / Rural
Caipira's calling card is the retroflex 'R caipira' [ɻ], heard in porta and mulher -- the schema has no dedicated retroflex-R value, so this preset approximates it with r_initial='assibilated' (the closest available IPA-adjacent option, [ɹ̝~ʐ] rather than the true [ɻ]) and r_guttural_strength='none' to keep it firmly non-guttural.
