never heard of it :P sounds like a useful language :P

I speak Ilonggo (Hiligaynon). I am a native of Negros Occidental and it is the language in this part of the Philippines. Although Tagalog is one the official languages of the Philippines along with English, most regions, especially in the Visayas and Mindanao islands speak different languages. Ilonggo or Hiligaynon is one of them. It is spoken in the Western Visayas region and some other parts of the country especially Mindanao. I can say that Ilonggo is really different from Tagalog, although they share some words. The vocabulary and structure of the two languages are somewhat different and the listeners of Ilonggo/Hiligaynon often notice a particular tone with the speakers. This tone can sometimes be noticed even if the native speaker speaks another language like English or Tagalog. I hope I answered your question.

Tagalog = hindi ako marunong mag Ilonggo English = I do not know how to speak Illonggo Illonggo = Dili ako kabalo mag-Ilonggo. See the difference?

Hello...:) Actually...Ilonggo's has two dialect: the "Caray-a or Karay-a" the one speaks by the Ilonggo's who lived in Ilo-ilo (a place in Visayas region) and some part in Cotabato. The other one is the most common and used one which is "Hiligaynon" sometimes pronounced as "I-ligaynon" (silent H). And I can speak this one...but if you like to learn Caray-a instead, I can still teach you 'cause I have a friend who can speak Caray-a fluently... Hope I've answered your question right...:D

i can speak and understand few words in ilonggo. but i can speak ilocano. cowboy...
