Here’s a rarely used Kapampángan word for “goldfish” that possibly comes from the word for a similarly colored and shaped fruit!


TALANG-TÁLANG • (tuh-luhng-TAH-luhng)
goldfish (rarely used)
Tagálog (Filipino): láli (rarely used)


Possible Origin
TÁLANG • (TAH-luhng)
mabolo fruit, velvet apple (whose color and shape resemble the goldfish)
Tagálog (Filipino): mabólo, kamagóng (mabolo tree)
