Hello, Angelina! My name is Paula and I'm Portuguese journalism student in Lisbon. Could you perhaps tell me more about this heritage your mother's side of the family still revives? Maybe in private? you don't need to tell me personal details nor about your family, but if you could help me by recommending people in Melaka who still speaks Kristang I'd be so grateful. Thank you so much! :)
The time to learn is now. Today, with the internet you can learn any language..There are videos, films, classes, etc.. I am from Brazil and I learned english and german by myself.
@@RenatoSantos-in2qz I am trying but unfortunately there is no online learning softwares like Duolingo or anything that offers it. There are also very few if any videos. Right now though I'm trying to learn it through what my mom remembers and from my family over zoom.
A nice and interesting people who are predominately Asiatic. Sadly their identity, culture and language are now endangered by the commercialisation of Malacca. A popular misconception is that they are all descendants of Portuguese conquistadors who set sail from Cochin to seize Malacca in 1511. A substantial number of those conquistadors who remained in Malacca after its conquest were Indian (Malabar Sepoys).
Atleast malaysia is trying to revive the portugese language even though the majority of its people were muslims.....I wish that also here in the philippines that the government will also revive and introduce once again the spanish language so that we can communicate to our fellow hispanic countries...
@@BambangPriantono It's just a broken spanish and only spoken in some parts of zamboanga..What I want is to re introduce once again the spanish language to our educational curriculum ..so that the whole country can speak spanish..
LOVE TIME efforts are being done without the help of the government. It's our own effort. I'm the teacher that's teaching the language in the vicinity of my own house. I'm not being paid to do this. It is 100% my own effort.
The Spaniards forced the locals to change their names to Spanish names even they were non-spanish by blood. Colonization.. Was the Spanish language only for the exclusive back then. I mean not introduced n spoken by the masses? Perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway the Spanish language is one of the widely spoken languages today the more we learn the better.
I think its kind of misleading calling them "of Portuguese descent" because it gives the impression that they are not mixed with the local Malay. Also, I would like to know why they prefer to be called as "Portuguese Eurasian" instead of "mixed Portuguese-Malay"
@Saiful Pulau besar ohh, i see thank you for clarifying. Btw, since you mentioned that you are malay, are you knowledgable in old malay language? I listen to music of Noraniza Idris (Irama Malaysia) and i heard that in those songs, she use old malay.
@Saiful Pulau besar They (Portuguese descendant) could have mix with Macaonese Chinese, Goanese Indian, and Malaccan Malay, is not it? Just my 2 cent. If you think about it they all have something in common, former Portuguese colony.
It would not be misleading to call them of Portuguese descent since... they're descended from Portuguese settlers. Now, to call them 100% Portuguese would be misleading for sure.
@@NewRepublicMapper Is it that absurd to want to distance your country's identity from it's colonial past? Like c'mon if my country was named after our past overlord's king I'd want that changed as well.
Nobody looks Portuguese. The language is unintelligible, yet the music and dancing is exactly the same as the folk dancing I grew up with in Canada. Tiro-li-o-lo... Viva Kristang!
Old Portuguese based on a scholars who visited the Portuguese settlement in Malacca. They said the ancient language spoken by the Malacca Portuguese community is no longer spoken in Portugal but the older generation can understand them.
Yes, we are proud of our history and in school we learn about malasya and malacca when we learn about age of discoveries, we left our legacy around the world and made good friends
Yes, it is taught at Portuguese schools. I was 11 when first heard about Malacca and Maluku Spice Islands. We learn World History and Portuguese History, including Portuguese colonization and slavery commerce in the Atlantic. Not just an epic version of History like in some other countries, but the facts.
I am part of a group to revive the Dutch creole language of the Antilles. Other than with Portuguese creole there seems to be no strong identification with Dutch creole or at least colonial Dutch. But recently I found a group on Facebook for that matter.
@Große Scheiße I see. There’s a lot to do for the revival. For instance we will need a learners edition of Oldendorp’s dictionary, which goes both ways.
Yes how about recognizing the malays displaced by the Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial empires that arent being recognized as a race in countries like Sri Lanka and aren't even officially considered citizens in the official documents stating the races that reside in the country. I'd love to see Al Jazeera run a piece on that other side of the coin.

you cant stop time, if a language is not useful for communication and daily life then its faith is decline, its good to record it for historical purposes but you cant force people to speak it.
They brought more good than harm, if it weren't for them we wouldn't have the discovered technology to fend off neighboring kingdoms. We learned maths, science and even oceanography. Unlike the British or Dutch who stole our resources and made us slaves, left us in ruins when they were defeated, the Portuguese people didn't and remained
@@alphestanley7194 true. No Portuguese (and Spanish) colonisation, no chillies, rubber plants, coffee, cocoa, etc (originally native to Central and South America only, brought in from Brazil or Mexico) in Southeast Asia today.
Yet, if not for the Dutch being allies with the Johore Sultanate and defeated the Portuguese in Malacca, we will not discover more things, such as advanced dairy production, electronics technology (Philips still loves Malaysia for having affiliations with the Dutch in the past, trust me). Post-modern era musics of Malaya were sung by Dutch East Indies Eurasians who fell in love with Johore, Malacca, Perak, Penang and even Klang Valley (back then, the famous are was Fort Melawati in Klang). Dutch people are cordially nice, unlike the British (especially English) people who feed a clanish mindset to segregate all people they can. The British was the one that brought the "Divide and Conquer" method to win over the whole big chunk of the Malay Peninsula (what we call today as Peninsular Malaysia) as well as Temasik (now known as Singapore), North Borneo (now known as Sabah), Sarawak, Labuan, Christmas Island as well as Cocos (Keeling) Island.
These Kristangs are not really mixed race. They are converts who only think they are mixed race. They don't look very different from the Malays. Their situation is more similar to Filipinos. Not mixed race but converts
They are a mixed race. In fact, being a mixed race means getting heavily discriminated during the month of Ramadan as you look Malay but the general public will scorn and curse you for being an insolent "Muslim traitor" especially eating out.
Also Filipinos are very weak in their original Muslim faith. That's the reason with one strong wave of the Spanish Armada fleet, the Tagalogs are the first one to surrender their Iman and leave to become a Whitewashed society. Maynila ought to become a Muslim Sultanate but your own weak faith brought your entire country to become Whitewashed but Asian skin. So don't talk so much about Malacca Eurasians when your own Philippines is too much of a damage beyond repair as a Whitewashed Asian Nation.
I am one, that's bs. Racism is everywhere, but Portugal has undeniably one of the lowest index of racism in the world. To pretend that Portugal mistreat foreigners is a joke.
@Prince Henry The navigator In the dominant Anglophonic world, Portuguese are barely considered White. In high school, my classmates had a really hard time identifying if Portuguese and other Iberian people are White.

Because Portugese/Kristang was very similar to Malay by blood, in some cases they’re recognised as Bumiputera (native malaysian)
