Old Spanish for Tres Lenguas (Three Tongues). Most plausible answer is the three tongues or three forks of Terlingua Creek, on which the town of Terlingua Ghost Town was founded in the Big Bend Valley of Far West Texas. Another explanation is that it refers to the three languages that were commonly spoken in that area: English, Spanish and American Indian dialects. When you think about it, however, the above explanation sounds much more likely. Brian Kistler
