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

Yes.

The word "janelas" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation:

• Sibilance: In many regions of Portugal (such as Lisbon), the final "s" is pronounced as a "sh" sound (/ʃ/), whereas in most of Brazil, it is pronounced as a "s" or "ss" sound (/s/).
• Vowel Reduction: Continental Portuguese tends to "swallow" or heavily reduce unstressed vowels. Therefore, the "a" sounds in "janelas" will sound much more closed or even disappear in some Portuguese dialects, while in Brazil, the vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated.
