Macaronic - a podcast by Word of the Day

Macaronic is an adjective that means composed of a mixture of languages.

Our word of the day is related to the word macaroni, the Italian dish that combines various foods.  In a similar way, a macaronic use of language combines many languages.

Our limited understanding of Portuguese caused our band to write many macaronic songs that combined English with Portuguese for our Brazilian audience.
