Subject:  language or Spanish (?) dialect called "Spaniolish"

A 1930s USA Remington Typewriter advertisement boasted taht the typewriters
had been used to type in 87 languages, which were listed.
      Some of the language-names, e.g., "Taal", are languages now known
under other names ("Taal" turns out to be Afrikaans, according to several
unabridged dictionaries) -- but one of the language-names has stumped not
only myself, but everyone & every dictionary or other source I've checked
(including the Oxford English Dictionary): what's "Spaniolish"?-- i.e.,
where/when is/was this language spoken?
      From the name, I would *guess* it to be a language related to Spanish
-  or else a dialect of Spanish -- spoken by a group in some
Germanic-language-speaking country (conjecturing "espa=F1ol" + -ish/-isch" a=
s
the source of the name), but I would really like to KNOW.
     Anyone with information about "Spaniolish", please share it!


Yours for better letters,

Hello,

Is there a list of common consonant clusters

Thanks,

Dear linguists,

Does any of you have information on the Western-Nilotic language
Dhophadola, spoken in eastern Uganda around the town of Tororo. I am
in particular looking for published and easily accessible grammars and
dictionaries of the language.
