Hakka wedding in East Timor

[LC1MNP1]

I dun think the Hakka culture will be very much alive in the future. Since most interracial marriage are white male married ethnic women. Their offspring will probably live in a Western ideals. While ethnic males will mostly able their own race.

My Akon tap Ama (grandpa and grandma) were born in toy-von (taiwan).

Eles foram para o brasil com o meu pai. La no Brasil eu nasci em 1991. Em 2001 a minha familia immigrou para os Estados Unidos.

Now I live in Southern California. What's next?

which district was the wedding held in East Timor?... The church looks alot tinier to a church or the cathedral in Dili. And jpesperancatimor are you full blooded portuguese or are you half portuguese? Technically, when a hakka marries a non hakka. The child will always remain hakka.

[jpesperancatimor]

It was in Liquiçá church. I am Portuguese (well, I have a theory that I might have Jew ancestors who were forced to conversion... - the so called "cristãos-novos").

My wife is half hakka. Or one fourth, since her father is East Timorese, and her mother is an ethnic Chinese daughter of a Japanese military who was in ET in WWII

[jpesperancatimor]

In East Timor the children of mixed marriages are usually absorved to the Chinese Hakka culture (& language) when it is the father who is CHinese. Not so often when the father is East Timorese and the mother Chinese.

Can I know the population of chinese (Hakka)in East Timor? Are there chinese schools? Hakka in East Timor are traders? Are they also catholic? Do they also speak portuguese or the local language? I'm very curious as I am also a Hakka living in Mauritius and I'm also catholic as most Hakkas in Mauritius.Can you give me more information about the Hakkas in East Timor?

Thanks

Francois

@afatchu

I myself is living in australia while my parents were from Timor Leste. They were both timorese/haka The first hakkas that came to timor were traders, now from what i see some of them have started businesses there (I've got aunt and cousins who r hakka and own shops there). Almost all of my timorese-hakka relatives are catholic but they still have some sort of chinese-buddish traditions. My hakka family knows port, tetum, indo, chinese (some might know their village language or english)

Parabéns e saudações dum amigo de Timor em Costa Rica na América Central.

@Nevtindome full blooded Portuguese??? ..when two Baptisms are married under the Catholic rite, your children will always be children of God…because in the Lord  there are no differences among their people.

[christinaaaaa]

[jpesperancatimor]

Portuguese, actually.

I know for sure because I'm the husband...

@jpesperancatimor Há quanto tempo é que vive em Timor? Fiquei curiosíssimo! Dei com este vídeo por mero acaso, estando a rever imagens acerca da guerra de resistência e independência de Timor-Leste! Espero, que as coisas tenham ido bem ;-) Abraços longínquos

[jpesperancatimor]

It is the bride that is half Hakka, not the language spoken. A part of her family is also Hakka. The wedding took place mostly in Tetum, with some Portuguese

[Debmey]

They didn't speak Hakka at all. It was Portuguese.
