Macau is famous for its casinos, its skyline, and its Portuguese-Chinese heritage. But there’s something most people have no idea about. It is one of the only cities on Earth where five different languages (Cantonese, Portuguese, Mandarin, English, and the creole Patuá) are spoken natively by people born and raised there. In this video, we walk through Macau’s streets and, by learning about its history, discover how each language arrived across five distinct historical moments. From ancient southern Chinese settlements, to Portuguese explorers, to creole communities, British influence next door in Hong Kong, and later Mandarin migration.
