A Question: On Visayan Dialects
« on: October 22, 2009, 08:22:15 AM »
Dear Ladies, Gentlemen, Linguistic Experts, Story-tellers, Writers, Journalists, Friends,


I have a question for all of you expert Visayan speakers. How different is Cebuano/Bol-anon compared to say: the visayan dialect spoken in Bacolod (Negros) and Illongo?

My love is Illongo/Bacolod, and I did try to speak to her in Cebuano-Bolanon, she understands some words, but the majority of the things I'm trying to say to her she makes fun of me (in jest) as sounding as "Tic Tac Toc" hahahaha! Bastos uy!

She's trying to learn some Cebuano/Bolanon (as im trying to teach here some) and at the same time I'm learning some Illongo from her (though she's quite limited, since she's American-Born) hahaha!

One thing I find interesting is that she says 'Jud' as "Gyid"
hahaha. Visaya. Its so complex and beautiful or beautiful and complex? hahaha!

I am planning to visit Philippines by Summer of 2010, I do wonder if anyone here has visited Ilo-Ilo City and/ or Bacolod City. If you have, what are the hot spots in those cities?

I do plan on touching down in Cebu/Bohol, but have plans in visiting my paternal side's home turf of : Leyte and Samar.
As well as visiting Ilo-Ilo and Negros Province.

Never really realized how big 'The Visayas' was. So much to visit, to see, to taste, etc etc.

Bran,

When you miss her, tell her: "Gihidlaw ko sa imo." That's the Ilonggo for "I miss you." I think.

But never tell her that the Ilonggos are "tikalon." :)

Thanks Mike. I will do that. hahaha!
I do find it interesting lang because her maternal grandfather hails from Leyte, and my entire paternal side hails from Souther Leyte. It is quite interesting lang how very different Illongo is from Bol-anon, though we can pick up the meaning.

So Mike, the Illongo word, "Gihidlaw" is similar to the Cebuano/Bol-anon word, "Mingaw"?

Salamat kaayo.
I need to practice more na diay. he he

dont say the word "nakasabot" to her because the root word "sabot" in bisaya means pubic hair in ilonggo.

90% of the young ilonggas are called nene or neneng in terms of honorific aspects.

Daghan ko amiga diri Ilongo/Waray all hails from Bacolod/ Iloilo pero akong na observe nila magtagalog man sila mix bisaya. Nakaadto pud ko Iloilo pero nagtagalog man mga tawo didto.Naay sagol gamay bisaya pero tagalog mostly akong nadungog. Ug sa Cotabato jud ka daghan pure Ilongo didto.

Abaw kanamit gid iya pro sa Bacolod ug Iloilo nga ako numero uno nga asendero sa tubo kon akon gid inyo patihon abaw linte gid ni kaayo,kay sa amon iya ang kwarta ginapiko ginapala. Ti mabato pa gid kamo sa akon.

Hilig ang hilongo maggamit ug Ti"

Isug bitaw, pero dili isug compared to the Boholana.

Akong igsoon baji, mao may isug jamo. LOL.

Da, 5'footer ba galing sija, pero, stubborn kaajo, smart/intelligent pa raba. Jamo.
-Scholar medical student raba sija. (imagine, Alden Scholar and acer of the USMCATs) :P
-Boholana may smart ug intelligent. Confident Jamo.

I think it is safe to say that: Bisayan women, in general, are :

1. Highly Intelligent
2. Hard Working
3. Stubborn
4. Beautiful
5. Confident
(especialidad ang mga Boholana/Cebuana/Leytena/Ilongo)

As for me, I have developed a new-found interest in the Illongo/ Bacoloderan Beauty. he he he

Mike,

I have to tell you that I was a recipient of a pinch (a very hard one raba). I asked her what 'tikalon' meant (as I did not know what it means) and she grimaced at me. [sexy raba ijang gi grimace-on] LOL.

And she pinched me. Aray!

Then she told me what it meant.
Patay. LOL

One thing I realized which made me laugh.

She has a friend who is gay and they always laugh alot. I recenlty realized that her friend was gay, only because she told me (and I do feel bad for just realizing it), lol.

She said something that made me blush red and giggle.

"Ay nako, si Jamie...Bax namannnn"

ha, ha, ha, cute.

I second this. That they are, they can be sweet to the ones who they open themselves to.

Imho, pariho raman ang mga Illonga ug Cebuana/Boholana.

Guapa ug Isug jamo.

One thing I noticed about Illongo speakers is that they end a sentence with the airy 'Ha'

LOL!

I always laugh when baji says, "Gyid"

So now we are exchanging phrases.

I am now saying 'Gyid' and she says 'Gyud'.
Though I have taught her the Bol-anon form, "Jyud"

Slowly tho, I am making her more fluent in Sugbuanon-Bol-anon.
