| | KINARAY-A |
 | | "Kinaray-a" or hinaraya is derived from "iraya" meaning "upstream," "ka" meaning "companion," with infixation "in" meaning "to have undergone something." It refers to the language of Antique (from "Hamtik," or large, red ant or wasp) and the upland parts of Iloilo and Capiz. |
 | | Apart from the population of Antique, which was 419,000 in 1990, the populations of Iloilo towns west, north, and northeast of the towns of Tigbauan, Santa Barbara, Pototan, Anilao, and Dingle inclusive, and the towns of Tapaz and Jamindan in Capiz, all speak Kinaray-a. |
 | | Suno pa kana, duro pa kuno ang nagagamit kang amo nga hambal kaysa Hiligaynon - bilog nga Antique, halos bilog nga Capiz, mga banwa sa sentro kang Iloilo kag sur kang siudad kang Iloilo nga marapit sa baybay. |
