I have actually started reading Dogeaters, whilst I agree with James Marlon
and there is no reference in the book.
Shall have to stop by NALIS and pick up one of the six copies of Teach yourself Tagalog.
And here I thought they were a waste of money.
The novel is a virtual traffic jam of languages, something that citizens of any Diaspora cannot help. For years we were taught this was a weakness, but Hagedorn convinced me that this was strength.I have to say it has been pretty hard going since unlike Sapodilla, Tagalog is not a dialect I share.

Hello :-) The thing about language...well for me...is to have fun with words. I wish I knew many languages / dialects so I can mix them up and play with them.
