Fluency figures in dispute

[edit]

I'm not sure the fluency statistics listed here are accurate. The current link the source is broken, but a working version can be found here. Both the New York times article and this source mention that 5000 students had been enrolled in learning Portuguese, but no figures were given as to the total percentage of speakers. http://cultura.gov.tl/sites/default/files/MLeach_Talking_portuguese_2007_08.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.98.201.255 (talk) 02:46, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Confused

[edit]

See the lead section: "Macanese Portuguese is spoken, to some degree either natively or as a second language, by roughly 1% of the population of Macau." Then see the "History" section: "Because most Macau people speak Cantonese, Portuguese, and Mandarin, they are able to code-switch between these languages." These disagree. Can only 1% of the Macanese population speak Portuguese, or can most of them speak Portuguese? 2603:8081:4C00:13D9:1C6B:D8B7:A0CC:90B6 (talk) 06:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
