Thanks for the explanation.  I thought the process was just taking too
long, if you had a discussion with FSF clerk, I think I'm fine.

Thank you for your comments.  The next incarnation looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; Code:

(require 'tex)
(require 'latex)

;; Silence the compiler:
(declare-function font-latex-add-quotes
                  "font-latex"
                  (quotes))

(declare-function font-latex-add-to-syntax-alist
                  "font-latex"
                  (list))

(defvar LaTeX-brazilian-mode-syntax-table
  (copy-syntax-table LaTeX-mode-syntax-table)
  "Syntax table used in LaTeX mode when using `brazilian' language.")

(modify-syntax-entry ?\" "w" LaTeX-brazilian-mode-syntax-table)

(TeX-add-style-hook
 "brazilian"
 (lambda ()
   (set-syntax-table LaTeX-brazilian-mode-syntax-table)
   (unless (eq (car TeX-quote-language) 'override)
     (setq TeX-quote-language nil))
   (setq LaTeX-babel-hyphen-language "brazilian")
   (TeX-add-symbols

    '("ro"   0)
    '("orda" 0)
    '("ra"   0))
   ;; Fontification

              (featurep 'font-latex))
     (font-latex-add-quotes '("\"<" "\">" french))
     ;; Prevent "| from leading to color bleed.
     (font-latex-add-to-syntax-alist (list (cons ?\" "\\"))))
   (run-hooks 'TeX-language-br-hook))
 TeX-dialect)

;;; brazilian.el ends here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Please comment.

All other styles use this pattern, this is the reason why I took it.
Have a look over here[1].

Thanks, I removed that from the Brazilian style; maybe we change it for
Portugues.
