Unfortunately, the computer got there first. The least we can do is undo the glossary entry because I don't think this is the kind of phrase that would ever be looked up.

Sorry for grading this too late - thanks for all your input and my apologies for falling behind. Anyway, for the record, I am using Muriel's answer here - I think her analysis is best.

(...within) the larger Brazilian community of essentially European culture and language

I'd change "distinct communities of" to "distinct communities within", and "large" to "larger". Otherwise, it sounds fine.

the larger Brazilian community AND its essentially European culture and language

I answere this one, too. My computer must have failed to send it.

In deep structure, the community and the culture/language are two separate nodes. It works better if you present them separately with AND in between.

"..or they ceased to be distinct from the larger Brazilian community and its essentially European culture and language.”
