Portuguese language gaining popularity in Macao as city sharpens bilingual edge
Macao, a former Portuguese colony, has long been seen as a gateway between China and Portuguese-speaking nations. While there may be fewer native Portuguese speakers in the city since its handover in 1999, more Chinese are now picking up the language. In the final part of this 3-part series, CNA’s Deborah Wong explores this paradigm shift. Read more: cna.asia/3J3iyM3

Portugal wants to boost trade ties with China. China is also Brazil's biggest trade partner. Then, there are a few Portuguese speaking countries in Africa which China has diplomatic relations with. There are benefits for people living in Macau to learn Portuguese.

And with E Timor joining ASEAN, Portuguese speaking countries and territories can be a magnet for closer ties between Asian, Europe and America...

Wow, why is CNA reporting again on Macao xDD did you set up offices here?
Ótimo
No, portuguese language isn't gaining popularity in Macao. Most of learners are maindland Chinese who go there as exchange students, it's not being learnt by locals at all.
Portuguese, the official language of Brazil, which is BRICS member.

Not very bright are we? EVERY person on Earth is speaking a language of a "past master". Americans speak english because England used to be its master.........latin european countries speak a variation of Vulgar Latin...because they were former colonies of the Roman Empire........Chinese people speak the same language because the empire expanded over the centuries...and there were those that were the masters and imposed their language on others. And for many macanese the CHINESE are now the masters. So why should they speak chinese? In your view, they are merely the new masters. Get some prespective and stop being cringe.

Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese are a different dialect of the same language. Nothing like nothing. O português do Brasil é diferente do português de Portugal e muitos brasileiros não entendem bem o Português de Portugal inclusive aqui o português de Portugal é legendado.
@ruibelo-cv3co
Ай бұрын
Nada mais falso. Apenas é legendado porque muitos brasileiros não entendem o sotaque. Uma Língua é definida por um conjuntos de regras gramaticais e de sintaxe que são os mesmos em Portugal e no Brasil. O português de Portugal não é um dialecto. É a matriz da Língua. E, já agora, que parte é que você não entendeu do que eu escrevi?
