      True enough We're living now in Sicily, Italy and when we landed here, I easily adopt the language mainly because of the Spanish words incorporated in our tagalog languages... still thankful despite the tragic events happened in our history it allows us to communicate with other nationalities in regards to what they have instilled inour way of speaking and communication...

    Thanks for your reaction to the video! I as a German actually learned Spanish in Central America. But when I visited the Philippines a couple of years ago I actually was surprised to run into people that I could practice my Spanish with. Also by now I learned that 2 of the main languages there, Tagalog and Cebuano (Visavayan) both are consisting of around 20% spanish words. So the next for me is to study either one of these languages. I may start with Tagalog I guess. Or Cebuano? Let's see..

    If I remember my Philippine history correctly, Chavacano, a form of Spanish Creole (the only one in Asia), was originally based from the old Castilian Spanish (which was the Spanish spoken by the Spaniards from the Kingdom of Castile). That's why here in the Philippines the Spanish language and people are both called "Kastila". So Chavacano I think uses the syntax and words from old Castilian Spanish which is different from the modern Spanish language. Since its a creole language it also incorporates words from different local dialects but mainly from Tagalog (Filipino).

    • @mikhailjoshuapahuyo1431
      @mikhailjoshuapahuyo1431 3 роки тому +25

      Yes your right, it is more like an old version of Castillian Spanish, so that's why it has long phrases than today's spanish. So it's not influence by modern Spanish, It is influenced by Old Spanish, so the Chavacano were hearing is a cracked version old Spanish, so again that's why it has long Phrases.
      But your right

No need to keep dipping your fish ball on another man’s fish sauce. Every video about Zamboanga, you will read comments from maids trying to present the idea that the whole Philippines is like Spanish. The national hero of the Philippines himself renounced Tagalog, when he spent the last years of his life in Zamboanga. He went to Dumaguete for 1 day, but he left because no one spoke Spanish or Chavacano. Learn your facts from one of the 4 elite universities of Philippines before you spread Fake History.

      agree to that old Castilian language, Chavano are more than 80% Castilian and the remaining percentage are more on various Visayan Dialects but majority in Cebuano like Porque kaha, in tagalog bakit kaya,, there's also another Chavano in luzon in Cavite which is more than 80% Castilian and the remaining percentage are in tagalog like "bakit kaya" porque kaya, but along the way it faded.. unlike in zamboangenyo or Chavano it's still commonly used.

    When I came here in Thailand and work in a hotel, I had an experience, there were old couples from Italy and they were lost. They don't speak English , only Italian. They have a booking for hotel (not in our hotel) but they did not able to find the hotel after helping them to contact the hotel at the end (it was a fake booking).
    The taxi driver doesn't speak well in English and they ask me to help. So they old man keeps on talking Italian where it happens that I understand some of his words. When I try to ask him ," habla spaniol senior"? He was like , he saw a huge lights and very happy! At the end they were very happy,they stayed in our hotel and still had our communication up to this day.

    Hi i came across your reaction video comparing Spanish and Chabacano. I am a Canadian citizen originally from the Philippines. I only know the main Filipino language Tagalog since i was born there. We always thought our Philippine national language have mixes of Spanish, Malay, and various island dialects. I have never been to Zamboanga and had never spoken to any person from there that speaks Chabacano. I am always amazed about the spoken language as i have also travelled and lived in middle east for many years learning the arabic language. Here in Canada, we have mixed French and English. The type of half English from England and US English. Me and my wife does lots of travelling before the pandemic. But few years back we decided to visit Spain. When we travel over seas we most often take booked tours where evrything is managed. As always when going back to Philippines or Canada, we just take the regular transport bus or taxi because we do not have language barriers. But we thought why don’t we do that going Spain this time even though we have very minimal knowledge of Spanish language. So we took the plane and when we arrive in Barcelona, we just get out of the airport just like everyone one else, took the bus to our hotel. And wala we didn’t get lost. We stroll and walk around talk to people and hang around town. It just feels like home. Amazing, its our first time to travel to Spain and its as if its a place we have been before or somsplace were alwaredy familiar. We were surely come again next time to Madrid. Hopefully after the pandemic.

    • @alistairt7544
      @alistairt7544 3 роки тому +3

      This is a myth(or perhaps fantasy) among Filipinos, the belief of having Spanish ancestry. Most Filipinos don't have Spanish blood. Not many Spaniards inter-mingled with the natives in the Philippines, compared to Latin America and you can see that with just plain appearance(although it varies between Latin American countries as well). In Latin America, there was an actual edict by the King to force the colonisers to inter-marry with the locals to "Hispanise" the local population, to make them more Spanish. In the Philippines, it was quite a different case. They tended to stick within Intramuros(Manila, Zamboanga, etc) and inter-married with mestizos rather than the natives. Only select few within the population can enter/live within the walls. Before that, just like in the Americas, the Spaniards inter-married with the local elite/local nobility, not peasants or ordinary people. Then they created that ruling mestizo class(a good example are the Illustrados like Rizal, del Pilar, Ponce).
      Even the Spaniards differentiated amongst themselves in hierarchy because it depended where the Spaniard was born based on Geography. The hierarchy goes from top to bottom:
      _Peninsulares_ (Spaniards from Spain)
      _Americanos_ (Spaniards from the Americas/Caribbean)
      _Filipinos_ / _Insulares_ / _Criollos_ (Spaniards born in the Philippines, some having some or little Filipino blood were among this class as well) *Insular means from the islands, criollos are "creoles"
      _Tornatrás_ (Spanish-Native Malay-Chinese mixture)
      _Mestizo_ _de_ _Español_ (half Spaniard half Native)
      _Mestizo_ _de_ _Sangley_ (half Spaniard half Chinese)
      _Sangley_ (Chinese)
      _Indio_ (Native Malay person)
      _Negrito_ (Aeta)
      The division of the "races" was done to prevent rebellion. "Divide and conquer" right? These ethnic/race hierarchy was common in colonial societies to divide the population, and create a "local" ruling class(the Mestizos or _métis_ in the French colonies). As you can tell, it's based on skin tone cause even the Chinese immigrants were slightly higher in rank than the darker Malays(I think this is one of the biggest factors why colourism is strong in the Philippines).
      Another massive misconception among Filipinos is due to having a Spanish last name, that this is the reason they have Spanish blood. This is not the case because the Spaniards forced us Filipinos to be baptised into Catholicism and with that, the locals had to adapt a Spanish last name. Very few Filipinos actually have Spanish blood, and way lower than that, full Spanish ancestry. The highest non-Malay mixture of Filipinos is Chinese, with more than a third of Filipinos having Chinese blood. Spanish ancestry estimates around less than 10%, and that's being generous because it includes Filipinos with very little Spanish blood. Just look at the population, if we had more Spanish ancestry, we would look closer to Latin Americans like in Colombia, Venezula, Mexico, etc. But we don't cause we look very Malay like Indonesians, Malaysians, etc.

    Great video! To answer your question, yes. I was born in Zamboanga but moved to the states at the age of 4 so I understand chavacano but don’t speak anymore. Most Spanish and Italian as well as Portuguese I can get by with understanding enough to travel so I’m thankful for that. Chavacano was used as a “trade and commerce” language when Spain occupied the Philippines. Many people don’t know about Zamboanga but it’s slowly starting to get attention because of people like you who share so thank you 🙏. If you ever visit try our tamales stuffed with glass noodles and shrimp wrapped in banana leaf, sooo good. And also try chikalang for desert. Thanks again for sharing 🇵🇭❤️

    In the Philippines back in the 50's & 60's Spanish was still incorporated in the curriculum when you get to 3rd year and 4th-year high school. In college, you also have to also take 2 years of Spanish class to be able to graduate. It ended when it was abolished in the 80's and was made optional.
    Spanish was the official language of the Philippines from the beginning of Spanish rule in the late 16th century, through the conclusion of the Spanish-American War in 1898 and remained co-official, along with English, until 1987. It was at first removed in 1973 by a constitutional change, but after a few months it was re-designated an official language by presidential decree and remained official until 1987, with the present Constitution re-designating it instead as an "optional and voluntary language"

It is so Sad to see Luzon people trying to use the Chavacano card to wash themselves from the shame and hatred they have towards their own culture. You had to drop names like the Royal and Pontifical University of 3 Miss Universe finalist. You clearly no nothing about UST and how its owners are connected to Zamboanga, because the Pope and the Queen of Spain only recognize Zamboanga as Royal. So please enough of the peddlinb of Cavite as Chavacano. 99.73% of Cavite have never even eaten Chorizo Bilbao, Saffron or name at least one Spanish monarch.

    I speak Filipino/Tagalog and also Cebuano. These languages are totally different from Spanish and Chavacano, although maybe 30% of their vocabulary is loanwords from Spanish. I think the difference is the grammar. Chavacano uses Spanish verbs as verbs, then simplifies the grammar to omit all Spanish conjugations. (I've been studying Spanish on the Internet for a bit more than a year now, and I appreciate that that is a dramatic simplification.) Instead of all the simple and compound tenses (is it 14 simple conjugations in Spanish, with auxiliaries haber and estar to make over a dozen more complicated combinations?), Chavacano just has past present future, by adding a simple particle like ya for the past.
    A lot of sentences of Chavacano seem to be combinations of Spanish words into patterns that are completely ungrammatical and unidiomatic to a Spanish speaker; but since the words are still Spanish it is possible to guess the meaning, although no Spanish speaker would ever produce such a combination. The relationship with the typical grammar of the Austronesian language family (which almost all the Philippine languages belong to) is more difficult to figure out. I would recommend the Langfocus video on Chavacano, if viewers are interested in this.

    Hi Jez, The national languages of the Philippines up until 1987(I think) was Spanish and Tagalog as taught in schools, then changed to Tagalog and English. The Philippines has ~195 different dialects and languages. Many of the 105 million Filipinos speak their local languages as well as the two official languages, as an example, Morissette Amon speaks her native Cebu language 'Bisaya' plus Tagalog, English and Taglish (a convenient combination of the two national languages). She also sings in a number of languages amazingly without accent. A very high percentage of working Filipinos are working abroad and can converse in a number of other languages. Check out the next cruise ship you may be on and you probably will have the bright smile of a Filipino greeting you! Love your reviews, please keep them coming!

    Many of our places and surname of our people had Spanish origin.

      Only (mostly the elite) families carry the Spanish surnames and by blood. But many were also "baptized" or perhaps a-gun-to-their-heads to convert/carry the Spanish surnames. That's my own opinion.

      Incorrect. Most Filipinos have .01 to 20% Spanish DNA. We are a mix of Chinese, South Asian, Spanish but mostly Austronesian. Its rare to see 100% Austronesian Filipino. The Spanish DNA is very distant.

    Hi, Jez!
    New subscriber here! 😍
    I'm a chavacano speaker and I know spanish, too. I work as a Spanish Bilingual agent in a call center here in the Phil assisting spanish speaking customers, of course. From time to time, I get calls from portuguese customers. Based on my personal experience, I find it EXTREMELY hard to understand them especially with how they pronounce their words. I would love to learn it though!
    Abrazos desde Zamboanga. Espero que nos pueda visitar aqui pronto!
    PS. I can understand Italians a little.
