=== Brazilian Portuguese === The Portuguese language has one of the highest numbers of homophones and consequently homographs in the world. Homophonic words include: "Jogo" - I throw, "Jogo" - I play, "Jogo" - Match (Sports), and "Jogo" - Game (This last one is controversial, with dialects like Paulistano considering it non-homophonic, while dialects like Caipira consider it only homophonic, noting that these are two Brazilian dialects.) For example, "Cinto" is a homophone for 9 other words, totalizing 10.(Oxford Languages) Although they are homophones, most of them are also homographs. # Cinto - a strip of varying width made of fabric, leather, or other material, worn around the waist and tied with a bow or fastened with a buckle or other closure. # Cinto - any strap or band that encircles the waist or trunk for safety purposes. # Cinto - synonymous with "CΓS" (waistband). # Cinto - that which surrounds and/or limits a space; fence. # Cinto - a ring that encircles something; belt. # Cinto - "A metal cinto reinforces the columns." # Cinto - synonymous with "ANILHA" (ring). # Cinto - a long, narrow bag that travelers attach to the waist or carry over the shoulder. # Sinto - to touch and feel the texture. # Sinto - to become sensitive to something
