Description:
SNP Reference. 2004. Trade paperback. Very good.. 256 p. Includes illustrations. . A language of uncommon lyricism and spirit, Kristang is the patoi of the Portuguese Eurasians of Asia. With a distinguished history that that dates to the arrival of Afonso d Albuquerque s fleet in Malacca in 1511, Kristang has been passed down orally from generation to generation for over 500 years. Though it has retained its European roots, Kristang has been deeply influenced by many of the languages of the region and is one of Asia s most unique yet little-known linguistic treasures. The Eurasian Heritage Dictionary has played an irreplaceable role in recording and preserving this singular language and culture. Exhaustively researched and complied from interviews with native speakers, it has a comprehensive set of language features as well as dual-language explanations of Eurasian culture and its oral traditions.
