Summary/Abstract: The presentation/ article tries to present, as it can be observed from the title, different common incidents, both at lexical and phonetic level, between the dialect spoken in the Romanian Banat region, on one hand, and Galician, as well as Brazilian Portuguese language on the other hand. As far as the phonetic coincidences are concerned, they exist especially between the Banat region dialect and Brazilian Portuguese language, because consonants “t” and “d”, followed by the vowels “e” and “i” are pronounced in a very similar way. We can even talk about a common evolution of the primitive vowel “e” towards an “i” (which indeed exists in other languages and dialects too, especially in English). Syntactic coincidences on the other hand are more frequent between Galician and Banat dialect, certain terms being common only in the two regions, being used to designate objects exclusively typical for the two areas (such as “brenta”, a large basket, woven around four sticks, which is then strapped to the shoulder, and whose origins are probably pre-Roman, probably Celtic or Celtiber)
