Is the word assobiar the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "assobiar" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences are found in pronunciation and the phonetic rhythm of the word within a sentence:

• Pronunciation: In Brazil, the pronunciation of the final "r" varies significantly by region; it can be retroflex (as in the interior of São Paulo) or a guttural "h" sound (as in Rio de Janeiro). In Portugal, the "r" is typically a more distinct, alveolar tap or trill. Additionally, Brazilian Portuguese often features more nasalized and "open" vowels, while Continental Portuguese tends to have more "closed" and subtle vowel sounds.
• Rhythm: Brazilian Portuguese is generally more syllable-timed, whereas Continental Portuguese is more stress-timed, which changes the cadence of the word when spoken in a sequence.
