Hey Ed,
I didn't find any words that even had a close resemblance to standard Tagalog vocabulary. Was there supposed to be any?
Nicholas,
In the "alus" video, here are the possible cognates:
alit ~ (ma)liit 'small'
adan ~ (pa)ngalan 'name'
In the "biasa" video:
ningehang
root: dingeh ~ (Ind) dengar ~ (Tag) dinig
tetelu
root: telu ~ tatlo (which historically comes from *ta-talo via partial reduplication).
I didn't mean for it to be a trick question - sorry if it came across that way ^^
Oh! I was about to site those words, but they just seemed a little too different from standard Tagalog, I should have followed my instinct... besides, I didn't understand any of the Balinese, so I really couldn't decide on the possible cognates (eg. i didn't know 'alit' meant small [though I was pretty sure it was].
Anyway nice videos, keep them coming!
