Macanese Dialect
The Macanese dialect is commonly known as Macanese Portuguese (Patuá). It is a mixture of Portuguese, Malay, Cantonese, English, ancient Portuguese and a bit of Dutch, Spanish and Italian. In the past, it was the language spoken in Macau’s Portuguese Community. In 2009, theUNESCO listed the native dialect of Macau as an "endangered language". At present, this dialect is mainly preserved by a group of native Macanese drama aficionados who use it as their performance language.
