Correction on my previous comment. It’s not the alphabet but the grammar.thnx
Which chavacano will be used in the mtb mle program? Remember, Chavacano is a mixture of at least 2 languages, Spanish and another regional language , and each will have a different alphabet. Caviteno is a mixture of Spanish and Tagalog, Zamboanga Chavacano of Spanish and Ilonggo /Cebuano,etc.
Just a little correction regarding the above phrases as follows:
Quetal should be “Que tal”
Quetal man vos/evos/tu/usted, the word “man” is optional…. it an also be express as i do “Que tal Evos/Vos/Tu/Usted?”
for afternoon and evening it is always starts with “buenas”, if it is in morning it should always starts with “buenOs” as in BuenOs Dias..
Hello. I would just like to share my blog about the Chabacano de Zamboanga: http://allicanhandle.blogspot.com
