Yes, they are. However, there are some very small problems with 
brazilian.corpus:

"António" should be "Antônio";
"Brasilia" should be "Brasília";
"adóque" should be "adoque";
"Boceta" and "Buceta" are slang for "vagina", and considered really, really, 
really unpolite. I don't think it is a good idea to include these terms, 
they're rarely used (especially in written form).
