Description:

I've been playing around with Windows Movie Maker and decided to make a video with subtitles. I chose a 2004 news report about the Chavacano language from TVE, a TV station based in Spain. Enjoy the video. I speak Spanish, but had some difficulty with translating certain phrases. But I think it's pretty much understandable. Since I study Philippine languages and linguistics, I put some of my own commentary which is loosely based on a blog post I did on this back in 2004. additional keywords: español languages filipinas ilonggo criollo pidgin

Thanks for pointing that out. I originally wrote "southwestern Philippines" but didn't look right. So I WANTED to change it to "western Mindanao." I forgot to take out the "south" part but the Spanish version just says western. I'll have to fix that.

BTW, are they doing anything to try to preserve the Ermita Chavacano?

Muy interesante. Espero que se vuelva a enseñar en las escuelas y que también que el pueblo filipino conserve este bonito idioma.

me i don't speak chavacano but i'm facinated in the language, i think it should be preserved because it is distinct and one of a kind in this world which is part of our heritage as a filipino, people in the philippines should know about this.
