Law/Patents - Names (personal, company) / Diploma | | English term or phrase: Kanzhoongu (?) Osvaldo José | When transliterated into Russian, it sounds
Kanzhoongu (?) Osvaldoo (Osvaldu) José.
Portuguese of Angola. It sounds like "Kanzhoongu Osvaldoo (Osvaldu) Zhoze". I found "Osvaldo José" for Angola - still have some doubts about how to convey "oo=u" sound into Portuguese of Angola for the last letter should sound as "oo=u". That should be some local name - from experience they add to 2-3 quite Portuguese-like sounding name one local African.
Please, referenced answers if possible. If not - with explanations. MTIA & obrigado :) |

Сергей Лузан. Could you please translate your name into the latin alphabet, please?. I just don't know what to call you, as I don't understand the cyrilic alphabet. Anyway, I don't quite know what you want. Could you be more specific? What do you mean by 'kanzhoongu'?

Perhaps Kanzhoongu (= Kazúngu in Portuguese) is an African name. I just don't know, but I don't think it would mean 'Osvaldo' in Portuguese. José is a biblical name and is = Joseph in English. Sometimes, dialect names are freely translated into Portuguese, as we have many Tupi-Guarani names in Brazilian Portuguese. I would very much like to help, as far as I can, if you could be more specific.

Dear Segei = Sérgio in Portuguese. We never use an accent on final 'i' or 'u' in Portuguese, unless they are preceeded by a vowel = Itaú, Jaú, taí, Havaí,etc. By the way, if 'Kanzugu' precedes the proper name 'Osvaldo José', watch out, it could be a kind of title, a kind of addressing that person, mainly if it is in a diploma. I am guessing, don't quote me and please feel free to ask if you reckon I could be helpful.

Asker: OK, Humberto :) My name is Sergey Luzan. 'kanzhoongu' is mentioned in diploma as his name in addition to "osvaldo josé ".
Asker: Checked 'Kazúngu'. O hits with stress, 3 hits - without written stress. You helped me already a lot, thanks & obrigado :)
Asker: http://www.google.ru/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&as_qdr=all&q=+Kazungu&btnG=Search&lr=lang_pt
Asker: http://www.google.ru/search?q=Kazungu&hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&as_qdr=all&pwst=1&start=10&sa=N
Asker: It's obviously a local (perhaps - tribe/ tribal name). The only thing I would like to know - is it better to have a written stress upon the letter 'u' or not? So Kazúngu vs. Kazungu? :)
Asker: Thanks & obrigado for your Notes added at 1 hr & P Forgas's comment. it's um sobrenome, indeed, just that's a bad habit from the USSR times - the put um "sobrenome" first, & nomes afterwards. But usually 'sobrenome' was (& is)divided by comma. Not this time that confused me terribly. So, probaly the correct word order should be 'Osvaldo José Kazungu' as P Forgas suggested, shouldn't it? I highly appreciate yuor & his distant help w/o knowing those details. Yes, 'o original' is in Russian, & namely bureaucratic Russian :) BTW, my name (nome) is SeRgeY = Sérgio in Portuguese :) So, your collective advice is to put the name in internationally established order - 'Osvaldo José Kazungu', isn't it?
