src: Só mais tarde virei a saber que esse termo – muito comum desde o século XVI em todo o Sudeste Asiático, com as variantes “farang”, “ferringhi” ou “bayingyi”, consoante os países, e que significa “franco”, ou seja, “português” – tem actualmente um sentido pejorativo, daí que ninguém aceite ser identificado como tal.
tgt: It is only later that I come to know that this term – very common since the sixteenth century throughout Southeast Asia, with the variants “farang,” “ferringhi” or “bayingyi,” according to the countries, and that means “franc”, that is to say, “Portuguese” currently has a pejorative meaning, hence no one accepts being identified as such.
