take it from a portuguese
I take it from Brasilians - they think they are speaking Portuguese, their constitution calls it Portuguese. To a person from Portugal, it probably sounds funny, but lets face it, to a person from London the Berkshire accent sounds funny. Paulistanas look quizzically at Cariocas and vice versa :-)
In the family tree of Romance languages, Spanish is more closely related to Portuguese than it is to Catalan. The common ancestor of Spanish (Castilian) and Catalan split into the Ibero- and Gallo- branches more than 1000 years ago, whereas Brasilian Portuguese and European Portuguese were the same language in 1500 when Pedro Álvares Cabral landed, so any split is relatively recent.

Catalan and Spanish (Castillian) are completely different, your argument is invalid...
The language in my part of Spain, Galego, is halfway between Castillian and Portuguese... I can have a conversation with a Brazilian or Portugeezer and, apart from different inflections, they sound similar enough for me to understand them equally...
Argentinians on the other hand, that's not Spanish, guys... 😂
