Learning Chavacano and maybe other creoles could revitalize my interest in conlanging, even if just in my head. Chavacano is interesting to me because it is a Latinate creole, Spanish-based, with an indigenous Philippine substratum. Convenient in creoles is the absence of complex verbal conjugations. Markers or particles indicate verbal aspects. Creole is like a quaint fantasy.

As English's Germanic substratum of short words is ameliorated with long Mediterranean loanwords, the Thai language with its short words is ameliorated with long Indic borrowings. Languages often have such vocabulary dichotomies. Japanese native words are longer than the Sinitic borrowings. Borrowed words in these languages often indicate a higher register.
