Patuá is the creole language of Macau - a blend of Portuguese, Cantonese and words from several other Asian languages. It dates back to the 16th century, but in more recent years it came close to going extinct.
Now, a younger generation of Macanese are striving to preserve this important part of their heritage, which reflects the city’s unique history as a Portuguese trading post.
Those working to save Patuá include Elisabela Larrea, a scholar who is using various mediums, including theatre, to bring awareness to the language. There is also Delfino Gabriel, an amateur musician who creates songs that use Patuá in the lyrics. Through their shared mission, these Macau locals have made deeper connections with their mixed Portuguese-Chinese heritage, culture and community.

"Indian" is not a language. Patuá is a mix of Portuguese, Cantonese, Malay, and Sinhala.
Patua, is it anything like patois? 😂😂😂
Yes. The two words share the same root. I don't understand why this is funny though?
There's nothing wrong with preserving a part of their language but I don't think being a Portuguese trading Port is a point of Pride for the Chinese population
i beg to differ :)
@@meikong4844 yeah being enslaved as a point of pride I guess it's cuz Chinese people love white people so much
Their pride is for the culture itself, not necessarily the origins. Plus did they even mention anything about being proud of the ports? Weird thing to take away from a video about people cherishing/preserving their language and culture.
@@tofufu9571 lol Facts are weird
Patuá has a lot of similarities with Italian as well.
