[An-lang] about loan words

[Piers Kelly]

Thanks all for your responses.

I have managed to consult Panganiban's *Diksyunaryo* of 1972 which includes
the following statement:

"This Diksyunaryu-Tesauro Pilipino-Ingles has 27,069 main word entries
accompanied by almost 217,500 lexical items distributed among [...] 12,000
loan words (Sp., Eng., Ch., Ind.-European languages);"

However, in his Introduction to Leo James English's* English–Tagalog
dictionary* (1965), he is more specific and writes, "The present
Tagalog-based Pilipino is estimated as having around 30,000 root-words and
around 700 affixes. Of the root-words, the recognizable loans at this time
are, in round numbers, 5,000 from Spanish, 3,200 from Malayo-Indonesian,
1,500 from Chinese, 1,500 from English, 300 from Sanskrit, 250 from Arabaic
and a few hundred altogether from Mexican, persian, Japanese, Russian and
other languages." n.d.

The other suggested sources that I have been able to consult tend to
describe loans without quantifying them, although some (eg, Gloria
Chan-Yap) break down loans by semantic domain. I'll see how I go with
Manuel sources too.

Thanks again!

Piers
