Corpus do Português contains about one billion words of data in web pages from four different Portuguese-speaking countries (Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique). This corpus allows you to look at very recent Portuguese (the texts were collected 2013-14), and to compare among the different dialects.

The Corpus of Contemporary American English is the only large corpus of American English with historical, dialectal, or genre-based variation. It contains more than one billion words of text from eight genres: spoken, fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, academic texts, and TV and Movies subtitles, blogs, and other web pages.
