Knowledgeable English people why do you call Brazil Brazil and not Brasil ...is this US influence?

English pronunciation is dependent of status / class of the speaker. Like Obama would pronounce Taliban as "Tahl-lee-bahn" - not because it's correct, but because he is a member of the elite class.

We'll call it what ever you want. Just keep tantalizing us with those gorgeous women on the beaches!
