Explanation:
I'd change "distinct communities of" to "distinct communities within", and "large" to "larger". Otherwise, it sounds fine.

the larger Brazilian community AND its essentially European culture and language


Explanation:
I answere this one, too. My computer must have failed to send it.

"..or they ceased to be distinct from the larger Brazilian community and its essentially European culture and language.”
