Macao Pidgin Portuguese · 22.2°N 113.5°E

Macanese Portuguese (Portuguese: português macaense) is the Portuguese language as spoken in Macau, where Portuguese is a co-official with Cantonese. Macanese Portuguese is spoken, to some degree either natively or as a second language, by roughly 2.3% of the population of Macau. It should not be confused with Macanese Patois (or patuá), a distinct Portuguese creole that developed in Macau during the Portuguese rule.
