It is also good that you quote from Capampangan books. I do not understand why you, Holy Angel University and the Center for Kapampangan Studies keep refering to the 1732 book. I doubt if the 18th century book of Fray Diego Bergano titled Bocabvlario de Pampango en Romance...is the same as the 1860 because it is not. I think you are referring to the edited and revised version published in 1860 and translated by Fr. Venancio Samson. Vocabvlario de Pampango. Editors of the 1860 book were not named and certainly was not done by Bergano because he died in 1747. The 1860 book not only has different orthography but also definitions not found in the 1732. Just to cite an example; part of the definition of the word Balatung has notes that refer to the 1837 Flora of M. Blanco published more that a hundred years after Bergano's Bocabvlario. Mind you also Fr. Samson is not a native Spanish speaker and certainly did not use 18th century English/Spanish dictionaries which are more appropriate for these works.

God, one of the least mellifluous dialects!". As if languages are designed to be all "mellifluous"..Alex D.R.

I'm really learning a lot from your blog. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
