Cool diagram! Would be better if it pointed out that the Portuguese word "real" only refers to currency in Brazil, not Portugal. The origin appears correct and the word is used in Portugal either to say something is "regal" or "real".

It also referred to currency in Portugal when we had a monarchy, precisely because of the meaning of "regal".

Thanks for pointing that out, I had totally forgotten about that, was only thinking of the Escudo.
