Along with immigrants coming to Macao are the languages they speak. Since Macao is a tourism city, immigrants who come and work here, especially those occupying in hospitality industry, also need to master English and learn basic Cantonese and Mandarin to communicate with their employers and tourists. The linguistic diversity of Macao comes from the diversified immigrant groups. It not only includes the official languages of their home countries, but also the dialects of the different regions. Sometimes different dialects are even used within the same immigrant family. Also, because they are from foreign nationalities, their languages using is limited within their ethnic groups. Meanwhile, among the local languages of Macao, Patuá is very unique.

隨著移民一起到來澳門的，還有他們所使用的語言。澳門是一座旅遊城市，因此外來在此務工的移民，尤其是在服務行業工作的，也需要掌握英語與基礎的粵語和普通話來與雇主和遊客溝通。澳門的語言多樣性來源於外來的移民族群，不僅是各個國家的官方語言，其中也夾雜了每個國家不同地區的方言，甚至有時一個家庭群體內也會使用不同的方言進行溝通。而且，由於他們屬於外來族群，因此各自的語言也僅限於族群內部使用。同時，在澳門本土語言內，土生葡語也是極為特殊的。

The users of Patuá are the Macanese community, which refers to the descendants of the Portuguese who married with the Macao’s Chinese residents in the old days, who have the sense of identity to Portuguese culture. The Patuá is the linguistic product of the long-term integration of Portuguese and Cantonese, which is very distinctive.

土生葡語的使用者為澳門土生葡人族群，特指舊時在澳葡萄牙人與澳門華人聯姻的後代，以葡萄牙文化為身份認同。他們所使用的土生葡語是葡萄牙語與粵語長期交融的產物，極具特色。
