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

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't like to feel so old.
I like to feel only 80.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Aida is from Macau, a Chinese city 
that was formerly

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
colonized by Portugal for 400 years.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She and her daughter Sonia
are among the few people

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
who still speak Patuà,
a critically endangered language

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that is unique to Macau.

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

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Patuà, Cantonese,
Portuguese and English.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
You can see how Patuà mixes
the languages

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of places along the Portuguese
trade route

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the 16th century.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When I was in school,
in our days

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they didn't like us to speak
Patuà,

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because they used to say
that it is not real Portuguese.
