Emilio Aguinaldo, President of the Philippines, delivering a speech in Spanish
... that estimates for the number of Philippine Spanish speakers vary widely from the thousands to the millions? Source: "El número de hispanoparlantes en Filipinas varía mucho, según las fuentes, y oscila entre los cuatro millones y unos pocos miles..." ("The number of Spanish speakers in the Philippines varies a lot, according to the sources, and oscillates between four million and a few thousand...") --Andrés Barrenechea, 2013
ALT1: ... that while Philippine Spanish has been described as moribund, a new generation of speakers has also emerged? Source: "Following the American occupation of the Philippines, the Spanish language has lost ground constantly, and what remains of Spanish is clearly a marginal and vestigial language, which has already embarked on the inexorable path ultimately leading to language death." --Lipski, 1986 / "Aunque existe una nueva generación de hispanistas, que a pesar de que no son hispanohablantes nativos, están enseñando a sus hijos dicho idioma en casa, pero es un número muy reducido." ("Although a new generation of Spanish speakers exists, despite not being native Spanish speakers, they are teaching said language to their children at home, but it is a very reduced number.") --Andrés Barrenechea, 2013
ALT2: ... that Philippine Spanish is a language and not a creole? Source: "The small number of native Spanish speakers in the Philippines has contributed to the lack of studies of contemporary Philippine Spanish [...] At times, the latter [Philippine Creole Spanish; Chavacano] dialects are mistakenly referred to as 'Philippine Spanish', as though there were no legitimate non-creolized variant of metropolitan Spanish currently available in the Philippines." --Lipski, 1986
Overall: Approve all three hooks. I personally found ALT1 more interesting than others. BorgQueen (talk) 16:28, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
@BorgQueen and Sky Harbor: Regarding ALT1 - specifically why are we piping Endangered language? It is more accessible as an un-piped link. I will promote it as Endangered language and discussion can continue on the DYK talk page. Bruxton (talk) 01:34, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
