This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philippine Islands, with a population of over ninety-seven million is comprised of seven thousand one hundred seventy islands with residents speaking seven hundred different dialects. Prominent among all the dialects are the Tagalog and Cebuano, widely spoken in many places in the archipelago. Tagalog, being renamed as Filipino, officially became the national language. Although considered as the designated national language known as the Filipino language, Tagalog originally was spoken only in the capital city, Manila compared to Cebuano which is widely spoken in the Visayas and Mindanao. Neighboring provinces in Luzon have their own spoken dialect such as Ilocano in the Ilocos region (northern Luzon), Bicolano in the Bicol region (lower eastern Luzon), Pampangueno in the central plain region, Caviteno in the lower western Region, and Tagalog in the lower southern region. The Cebuano dialect is spoken and understood in the Visayas and Mindanao regions in spite of their local dialects. There are also Cebuano speaking families living in some parts of Luzon. The Ilonggo in western Visayas, Waray in Samar and Leyte in eastern Visayas, and Boholano for people in Bohol in the southern Visayas are regional dialects, but these dialects have only minor deviations from the Cebuano dialect. People who speak the Cebuano dialect are called Bisaya even if they are living outside of the Cebu Province, as they comprise and represent the Visayas region. Where majority of the residents in the Mindanao region are from the Visayas, hence they are also called Bisaya.

Download or read book Wellspring of Foresight written by Lorenzo Garcia Tabin Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of the first selected stories of an Ilokano writer couple with translation in English. It contains diverse forms of short fictions with local and international settings: humorous, crestfallen, traditional, and contemporary. It also contains their published, unpublished, and awarded stories. Sinamar was admired during her prime and had a bunch of fans reading her fictions not only because of their themes that affect the mood but also because of her alluring name—Sinamar. It means rays of light, which precisely allured the attention of her husband. On the other side, Lorenzo became popular because of his first novel, Ti Imetda nga Impierno, published by the Bannawag magazine when he was twenty-two years old and was the youngest writer turned novelist during his time. Sinamar congratulated him in the Dakami Met or Letters to the Editor, and it was the start of their relationship. His book was followed by Ramut ti Sinamar and then Agus, the sequels of the trilogy of Pupoy’s life. He became more known when his tongue-in-cheek novel Pakpakawan, Berde! was followed by more humorous novels until the publication of his award-winning contemporary novel Adtoy, Siak ni Jesus Crisostomo: Dramaturgo. See the whole list of their writings in their separate bibliographies between the English (translation) and the Ilokano (original) sections of the book.

Download or read book A grammar of Kagayanen written by Carol J. Pebley and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 747 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kagayanen is a resilient Austronesian>Greater Central Philippine>Manobo language spoken by about 30,000 individuals, mostly in Palawan province in the Philippines. This grammar is the result of nearly 40 years of research by Carol Pebley and a team of Kagayanen speakers and non-Kagayanen co-workers. The primary data source is a corpus of texts collected over a 20 year period. These texts, three of which appear in an appendix to this book, provide vivid insights into Kagayanen ways of being. The grammar is written with a general linguistics audience in mind, from a "communication first" perspective. It should prove useful to specialists in Austronesian languages, linguistic typologists, and others interested in doing research in the central Philippines. It is also hoped that this grammar will be an encouragement to Kagayanen speakers, proving that their language is wonderfully complex and deserves an equal place alongside other regional and international languages.
