Meet Aida de Jesus. She's 103 years old.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I don't like to feel so old.[br]I like to feel only 80.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Aida is from Macau, a Chinese city [br]that was formerly

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
colonized by Portugal for 400 years.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
She and her daughter Sonia[br]are among the few people

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
who still speak Patuà,[br]a critically endangered language

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that is unique to Macau.

Here's a local music video[br]with subtitles in four languages:

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Patuà, Cantonese,[br]Portuguese and English.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can see how Patuà mixes[br]the languages

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of places along the Portuguese[br]trade route

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
in the 16th century.

When I was in school,[br]in our days

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they didn't like us to speak[br]Patuà,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because they used to say[br]that it is not real Portuguese.
