Macao Patoá is a speech variety that is hardly known outside the Portuguese linguistic world. The people who have studied it have acknowledged its eclectic composition, a culmination of the distinct blending of a Western tongue (Portuguese) with the various tongues of the East. This blending produced a creole that was christened, ‘doçi lingua di Macau’ (the sweet tongue of Macao). Macao patoá could be considered as representative of a creolization brought about by the blending of a Western culture with the various cultures found in the South East Asian lands where the subjects of the Portuguese Seaborne Empire once ventured out in search of fame and fortune - both in this world and also in the next. This thesis aims to discover more about Macao patoá’s role as a representative tongue of this East-West linguistic blending. The focus of this thesis, however, is not on the Portuguese language but on English that soon followed and supplanted Portuguese as the most influential western language affecting the people of Asia. This paper intends to initiate the study of Macao patoá as an intermediate or direct source of English loanwords.
