Globalese

Globalese Speak?

I found this article by Goffrey Nunberg while searching something about the term globalese.

What if there really is going to be a proposal to the United Nations to rename English as Globalese and declare it as the language of the world?

Globalese - the internationalizationalism and/or globalizationalism of the English language?:p

On the other hand, here's the 213th sonnet added to Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan. Yet another love poem in the time of deluge.

sonito 213

(panangaro ed panaon na salinap)

ag mo la ibabalikas ed siak
ono yesaes ya inarom ak
ta anggano dia ed kareenan
narengel ko'y bosis mo pinabli

sa kioas tan aoaoey mo labat
amtak la so labay ton ibaga
laut la no nanengneng ko la'ra'y
lagyat tan pitamitam na matam

ag mo insiblet so ngara'y aro
ya agay la'y irap kon inanap
ed togatog na kaoayangan ko

initdan mo na kolor so bilay
ya inkorit ko ed saray egpang
tan tekap na dapul ya aoaran
