"Súsù" means "breast," "beyég" means "scrotum," and "besî" means "wet" in Inagta Alabat, an endangered language in the Philippines. Now you can talk dirty in a language spoken fluently by fewer than ten speakers, thanks to language documentation and conservation researchers (Lobel et al., 2020).

These ghosts are about language geekery.
The paper doesn’t include Inagta for “ghost,” but “limpús” is “bury,” “pálà” is “to die,” and “tálaw” is “to fear.”
