	The Creole Spanish or Chabacano dialect of the Philippines
		Moreover, although Z is definitively a creole, as are the remaining Chabacano dialects, its inevitable and undiluted origin in the Manila Bay Chabacano dialects is not a foregone conclusion.
		Chabacano speakers are so used to the notion that their language has no grammar that they were often perplexed and sometimes pleasantly surprised when my attempts to elicit particular constructions or facts elicited sharp grammatical judgments, including configurations which are completely unacceptable in Chabacano.
		Chabacano is a manifestation of linguistic and cultural resilience, a language which continues to grow in number of speakers and sociopolitical impact.

		Chabacano is a Spanish adjective meaning clumsy, awkward, or lacking in good taste.
		However, a semblance of the original Chabacano de Zamboanga, which is laden with Spanish words and expressions, is still being spoken by old-timers in some remote areas of the city where foreign languages and sub-cultural dialects and cultures failed to influence.
		But their dialects, although for a time had influenced the Chabacano, were gradually re-affected by the Chabacano, and their words were selectively swallowed in the process.

	Chavacano language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chavacano (as a proper noun, as a derivative of the Spanish adjective "chabacano," and as it is generally accepted in literature, the broadcast media, and Zamboangueños) or Chabacano (as the Spanish adjective) is the common name for the several varieties of the Philippine Creole Spanish spoken in the Philippines.
		There are three known varieties of Chabacano which have Tagalog as their substrate language: Caviteño, Ternateño, and Ermitaño (extinct).
		Chabacano has preserved plenty of archaic Spanish words in its vocabulary that modern Spanish no longer use, that has evolved, or that has acquired a totally different meaning.

		The Chabacano presence in the Philippines The Philippines is the only former Spanish colony where the Spanish language was never acquired by the majority of the native population, and which replaced no native language.
		Moreove r, although Zamboangueño is definitively a creole, as are the remaining Chabacano dialects, its inevitable and undiluted origin in the Manila Bay Chabacano dialects is not a foregone conclusion.
		Also instructive of the existence of Chabacano dialects in Zamboanga and elsewhere, and of the awareness of such varieties by outsiders, are obser vers’lists of languages spoken in each area of the Philippines.

		A century ago, the Spanish language was in good health and embellishing the world of letters of many Filipino writers.That resplendent age of Spanish produced an exulted and brilliant group of writers and journalists in the Spanish language.
		In an article I wrote in La Guirnalda Polar about Chabacano, I desperately sought the aid of Chabacano, the only Filipino dialect that approximates the Spanish language, as a means to revive Spanish in the Philippines.
		There is something sincere, funny, and "algo nuestro" that makes Chabacano, or "pidgin Spanish", a way at getting the interest of Filipinos who hunger to seek their roots in their Spanish heritage.

	Salita Blog: News about Chabacano / Chavacano
		It was nice to see the extent of Chabacano used in Zamboanga - to the point that it's used in newscasts and in radio.
		And whether you choose Caviteño or Zamboangueño Chabacano doesn't really matter, both variants are pretty much the same because it was the Caviteño population in Zamboanga like my ancestors who propagated the Chavacano tongue.
		Although the population data may show that there are more than 300,000 speakers of Chabacano in Zamboanga alone, young people in high school and grade school are now using Tagalog to communicate to one another.

	Chabacano - Cavite's Dialect
		Now, then, in Ternate we find that the Chabacano used there is not only different from our Chabacano (I say our because I am a Caviteño) because of these symbolic and metaphoric allusions, but also because they are uttered in a certain manner and expression which carry the same kind of musical tone.
		One example of their metaphoric Chabacano is this: ta sali ya el prusision, which means that the rice in the pot is already boiling.
		And the Chabacano of this generation is no longer the same Chabacano of the old, for besides the Spanish-Filipino mixture in it, it has also added the American.

	in defense of chabacano
		One way is through Chabacano, one of the Philippine dialects that is closest to the Spanish language in syntax and vocabulary, more so than the other Philippine dialects.
		In fact, Chabacano is some sort of a watered down Spanish, a kind of Spanish referred to as Creole or "Pidgin" Spanish.
		The word "comé" in Chabacano is the corrputed form of the infinitive "comer", and therefore, is used in all conjugated instances, whether past, present or future.

	The Early History of Chavacano de Zamboanga: Chabacano versus related creoles
		There were no Portuguese slavers involved in the development of Chabacano, but there were Portuguese soldiers on Ternate who contributed to the creation of the Malayo-Portuguese that later came into contact with Spanish.
		In all three cases, it is the near mutual intelligibility of Portuguese and Spanish that gives the theory of relexification its plausibility, to say nothing of the most obvious evidence: the modern remnants of Portuguese in all three creoles.
		To evaluate the relative importance of superstrate versus substrate influence in the formation of creole languages, we will examine a number of syntactic features in Chabacano and note their presence or absence in those two creoles that share its superstrate (but not its substrate).

	Chabacano Research Paperwork
		Chabacano is currently spoken by a small number of elderly individuals in Cavite (especially the San Roque neighborhood), who may intersperse Chabacano expressions with the more frequently used Tagalog when speaking amongst themselves.
		Spanish-influenced concepts of Chabacano grammar (although few of them are truly fluent in Spanish) continue to be felt among younger teachers, journalists and radio announcers.
		The status of Chabacano in the Philippines is intimately related to issues of identity and attitude toward a language which does not fit clearly into the category of `native’ Philippine language or `foreign colonial’ language.
