Spanish-based creole languages

A number of creole languages are based on the Spanish language.

Chavacano (also Chabacano) is a Spanish-based creole language and the name of six Spanish dialects that became a creole language spoken in the Philippines. The name of the language stems from the Spanish word Chabacano which means "tasteless", "common", or "vulgar".

Dialects of Chavacano are spoken in Cavite City and Ternate (both on Luzon); Zamboanga, Cotabato and Davao (on Mindanao), Isabela City and other parts of Province of Basilan and elsewhere. According to a 2007 census, there are 2,502,185 speakers in the Philippines. It is the major language of Zamboanga City. Chavacano is also spoken in Cavite City and in parts of Ternate, Cavite and Sabah, Malaysia nearest to the Philippines, and even in Brunei and Latin America, because of recent migrations.

Most of the vocabulary comes from Spanish, while the grammar is mostly based on the Austronesian structure. It is used in primary education, television, and radio. Recently English words have been infiltrating the language.

For more information see the article on Chavacano, or the Ethnologue Report on Chavacano.

Palenquero (also Palenque) is a Spanish-based creole spoken in Colombia.

It is spoken in Colombia, in the village of San Basilio de Palenque which is south and east of Cartagena, and in some neighborhoods of Barranquilla.
