Today, an idea just emerge which makes me kind of excited. This is about the "mother tongue vocabulary". As I was thinking of what title I would give in this post, curiosity got me asking on what might this insect called in my language.
By the way, I am a Filipino and my language is bisaya, commonly known as Visaya or they call it, visayan language. It is simply cebuano. Though I'm a hundred percent bisaya, I'm still unaware of some words that I didn't know about in my tongue language. I decided, I'm going to keep a vocabulary record in the things that I will encounter. So to start the plan...
Word of the day is katydid.
katydid : amamangloy (n.) [insekto]; mangliw (n.) [insekto]

This is a skull of a katydid that I found by the windowsill. It was still whole the first time I saw it. When I checked it the next time, the flesh were empty.
