There is no single Asian language. But plenty of vogue words from
this booming continent are entering English. Did you know there is
a flower named after former dictator Kim Jong-il? The Chinese have
a word shengnu, literally leftover for the new phenomenon of
unmarried women over thirty. Can you tell your jeepney from your
jilbab, or yakuza from the yellowshirts? These are just some of the
hundreds of words that illuminate little corners of life and
culture in a pan-Asian selection of keywords from the zeitgeist."
