Alternative form

[edit]

@Mlgc1998 Why is "shantung" an alternative form here? Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:04, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Mar vin kaiser When I searched this in Google Books to observe actual usage, a book called Señorito Series 14: Calixto (2022) by Rose Tan and the Essential 120000 English-Filipino Words Dictionary (2018) by Nam H Nguyen still spells the word as "shantung" and defines it as "tela ng sentang". It was only KWF's Diksiyonaryo and Manuel (1948) that spelled it as "siyantung". Mlgc1998 (talk) 16:13, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Mlgc1998: I don't consider that as a good source, but since I found "shantung" and "syantung" used as Tagalog in Diksyunaryong Panghanapbuhay, I guess that's better. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:23, 17 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
