Zamboanguetio is the largest and most stable variety of Philippine Creole Spanish (PCS). The pioneering work of Whinnom (1956) grouped all PCS varieties together as “Spanish contact vernacular-ff-,” while the first serious study of Zamboanguefio, by Frake (1971). stated that “Philippine Creole Spanish is not simp!y a Philippine language with unusually heavy Spanish lexical influence, nor is it Spanish with a large number of Philippine loan words. It is a distinct language, easily distinguishable from both its Romance and its Austronesian progenitors. ” Two prevailing viewpoints exist on the origins of Zamboangueiio, which shows both striking similarities and significant differences with respect to Manila Bay PCS dialects. The first holds that Zamboanguetio is the direct offshoot of transplanted Manila Bay PCS, used by garrison troops and enriched by central and southern Philippine elements. The second is that Zamboangueiio was formed in situ by repatriated slaves from all parts of the Philippines, who were recaptured from the Moslems of the Sulu Sea and set ashore at Zamboanga’s Fort Pilar. The present study attempts to reconcile the similarities and differences among PCS dialects, thereby situating Zamboanguefio in a refined genealogical perspective. It is suggested that, although certain features of Zamboanguefio almost certainly come from Manila Bay PCS, this did not result from a transplantation of a flourishing Manila Bay PCS variety in Zamboanga. Rather, Zamboanguefto was formed gradually in a largely downward fashion from received Spanish, aided by two additional components. The first is the inevitable pidginization that resulted in the Spanish garrison at Zamboanga, reinforced by the concentration of freed slaves from all parts of the Philippines. The second was a continuing trickle of Manila Bay PCS speakers into Zamboanga, as well as a general awareness, by Spanish and Zamboangueiio speakers, of linguistic features prevailing in Manila Bay PCS.
