Macanese

edit

To Hlaw, the term Macanese is sometimes used in referring to the people of Macao, no matter they have any Portuguese ancestry.

In referring to people who have Portuguese ancestry, it refers to both pure Portuguese decesdants who have been settling in Macao for a long time, and those with mixed ancestry (partially Portuguese, not necessarily mixed with Chinese).

By the way, should we add the language, Macanese patúa, that they speak?


There are a couple of other terms by which the creole population of Macao are known; namely, Macaense and Macaonese. The former is oftentimes used by the Portuguese or Portuguese-centric press and scholars, and the later by British scholars and press from around the turn of the last century, or by contemporary British translations of Portuguese texts on Macao. Another term used by the creole population proper is Filhos da Terra, literally Sons of the Earth. --Ianwatts 17:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Poruguese Chinese vs Macanese

edit

Macanese refers to the people living in Macao, Portuguese Chinese refers to people of partial or full Portguese descent in China. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lily1104 (talkcontribs) 10:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Support. Current article is a mere stub clearly referring to all Macanese people, so the disambiguation is not only arguably unnecessary but incorrect. This is a good topic and we should have an article by this name. If and when there's enough material in this article to justify a separate article on only those of Portuguese descent, then we can deal with the question of what that article should be called, but I'm sceptical that will ever occur.

I've moved the page as per the above request. Whether the article's intro needs to be rewritten in light of this, I will leave to more qualified editors. --Hadal (talk) 09:30, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Mysterious absence of Mozambique descendants

edit

If the majority of early settlers were Mozambique rather than Portuguese it seems strange that they would have left no descendants.RichardBond (talk) 15:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Who are these people? It'd be useful to have a list of their names, etc, underneath the image, as can be seen in most other 'x people' pages.90.211.36.88 (talk) 16:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
