The Macanese people (Portuguese: Macaense, Maquista) are a multiracial East Asian ethnic group that originated in Macau in the 16th century, consisting of people of predominantly mixed Cantonese and Portuguese as well as Malay,[7] Japanese,[7] English,[7] Dutch,[8] Sinhalese,[7] and Indian[8] ancestry.[9][10]

After World War II, the migration became a flood – the so-called diaspora. Today Macanese families are dispersed all over the globe and their history and culture are in danger of being lost.[11]
