Chavacano is officially recognized by Spain as a Spanish creole language in the Philippines.

Who here knows how to speak this creole language?
I can follow it to an extent, but some words are indigenous.

The way this creole language is spoken sounds just like Papamiento (a creole language spoken in Netherlands Antilles); syntax is abnormal and phonetics as well. I love it! I hope this creole language is preserved.
