This is my dialect! We’ve always attracted linguists because of our unique mix of cultures. For instance, we have lots of words for turkey - guíjalo/guajalote (and various combinations of the two), pavo, ganso real, cócono, and yes, even torque.
- nortonham 4y agoguajalote is common with everyone I've meet from mexico and parts of central america, so is pavo
- nortonham 4y agoand to add to that, pavo is often used just to refer to the food, the cooked meat, and guajalote to the animal. Same for pigs (Cerdo, chancho) and pork (puerco).
- davidw 4y agoHuh... "pavone" is peacock in Italian.
- metaltyphoon 4y agoclose to Portuguese too, pavão
- nortonham 4y agothey're related languages after all
