Ermitaño was a unique and now extinct creole spoken by a specific group of people living in the Ermita district of Manila.
The language was derived from the combination of Tagalog and Spanish which mirrors the development of the Chavacano language, itself a combination of Visayan languages and Spanish. These languages are, however, mutually unintelligible, meaning a Chavacano meeting an Ermitaño with each speaking their native tongue will not understand each other.
In the late '80s and early '90s there were only two living native speakers of Ermitaño left in Manila: a grandmother and her teenage grandson. Linguistics students from the University of the Philippines have had the chance to interview and make notes of the dying language.
