Could it be Maori? Explanation: Only a suggestion, since none of our Asian language colleagues seem to be confirming your hypothesis. The Maoris (New Zealand) have many words ending in "oa". |

peer agreement (net): +1Min, Tse, Toa - all three are Chinese names, probably from Singapore though Explanation: All I could find is a table with names, where you can see all three listed. It is from the National Junior Squad Training. The national or official languages in Singapore are Bengali, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, Tamil, and English. Total ethnic Chinese are about 77% of the population, so I would bet it is one of the Chinese dialects...

Could it be Min Tse Tao ?? Explanation: It looks like Chinese to me, but the thing that is causing confusion perhaps is the last word Toa - which doesn't look Chinese at all. Could it me a mis-transliteration / mis-spelling? |
