'By reading through the in-depth linguistic analysis of the Luso-Asian language which Shihan's book provides one can conclude that Portuguese influenced the Asian culture in many more ways than just introducing the commodities like chilli, pineapple and cashew.' - Dr Rashmi, Journal of Intercultural Studies
