Many thanks for your letter. You know that I enjoyed reading it, because now I<br />

like to write in our Papia Kristang. Here in Ipoh, Creoles are few, but in<br />

Malacca there are many Creole people, and they are all clever (enough) to<br />

speak this language. Macao people speak our Papia Kristang the same as I (do).<br />

There is now in Malacca a priest who came from Macao. When he prays in<br />

church, he speaks Kristang to the congregation; but there aren’t many Macao<br />

people in Malacca.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
