An article on the disappearing Portuguese Creole of Macau on the BBC Website: Theatre leads battle to save Macau's 'sweet speech' Dóci Papiaçám de Macau
Excerpt: "The script is in Patuá - a creole that mixes Portuguese, Cantonese and Malay - that today is only spoken by a handful of Macau's residents and has been listed by Unesco as "critically endangered". Patuá was once spoken by many Macanese - the Eurasians who acted as the Portuguese colony's administrators and interpreters and who today are trying to hold onto a distinct cultural identity in the predominantly Chinese city." 1 person has voted this message useful |
