Category:Adapted borrowings from Nheengatu by language

Categories with loanwords from Nheengatu formed with the addition of an affix to conform the term to the normal morphology of UNKNOWN. To categorize a term into a language-specific subcategory, use {{af|destcode|type=adap|yrl:source_term|-affix}} (or {{af|destcode|type=abor|...}}, using the same syntax), where destcode is the language code of the target language in question (see Wiktionary:List of languages); source_term is the Nheengatu term that the term in question was borrowed from; and affix is the target-language affix used to adapt the Nheengatu term. An example is Polish adresować (“to address”), which would use {{af|pl|type=adap|fr:adresser|-ować}} to indicate that is was formed from French adresser with the addition of the Polish verb-forming affix -ować. This is an umbrella category. It contains no dictionary entries, but only other, language-specific categories, which in turn contain relevant terms in a given language.
