palengke
A palengke is a type of public market common throughout the Philippines.
==Etymology==
The word ''palengke'' is a local variant of the Spanish word ', literally meaning "(wooden) palisade or stockade" and by extension the area enclosed by such a structure for defense, public festivals or some other purpose. The Spanish word is also used to describe a pathway or cluster of tables set up at some place of gathering such as a theatre, tournament or market,〔 and it is from this latter sense that ''palengke'' likely derives its usage in the Filipino context.
In the former Spanish colonies of New Spain in the Americas ''palenque'' also described a gathering-place of ''indios''.〔 One false etymology for ''palengke/palenque'' appearing in some popular sources mistakenly presumes that ''palenque'' is instead a word from the indigenous Mayan languages of Central America meaning "gathering place", and that in colonial times the Spanish adopted it to describe a gathering of indigenous groups.〔 While its use in Latin America to describe such a gathering is attested, the word itself originates from Spanish and not any of the indigenous languages; the mistaken belief of the word's indigenous origin is probably reinforced by Palenque—the famous Maya archaeological site in Chiapas, Mexico—which was named after the nearby Spanish village when the site was rediscovered in the mid-18th century.
