"DICIONARIO BAGOBO-ESPAÑOL" by Mateo Gisbert is a linguistic reference work written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a dictionary providing translations and meanings between the Bagobo language and Spanish, aimed primarily at speakers of both languages seeking to understand or communicate more effectively. It likely encompasses cultural and linguistic insights unique to the Bagobo people, an indigenous group from the Philippines. At the start of the dictionary, Gisbert explains the structure and rules for pronunciation of the Bagobo language, including syllable separation and phonetic considerations for certain letters. He notes specific spelling conventions, such as the absence of letters like F and X in the Bagobo language and how certain sounds merge. The opening also presents a series of Bagobo terms beginning with the letter "A", detailing their meanings in Spanish, thereby indicating the comprehensive nature of the dictionary's content.
