  Ilocano (Ilokano) Language
Because of the importance of Ilocano in Northern Luzon, it has been called the "National Language of the North." Many ethnic groups from the northern regions of the country are more at home in their second language, Ilocano, than the national language of the country, Tagalog (Pilipino).
This is undoubtedly due to the historical prestige of the language and the accessibility of its speakers.
All the languages of the archipelago are Western Austronesian of the Philippine type except the languages left behind by colonization: English, Spanish, and the language of a powerful merchant class, Hokkien Chinese.

 Literary Periods
Some writers who use the Spanish language began to shift to the American language for the fact that a larger population can now comprehend the said language.
It is a fact that Filipinos during the Spanish period were not given the chance to learn the language, resulting in a very small population of people capable of understanding the literary works.
This all changed with the founding of the U. Writers Club in 1926 whose aim was to enhance and propagate the "language of Shakespeare." With the publication of Paz Marquez Benitez' "Dead Stars," it was made the landmark of the maturity of the Filipino writer in English.

 A Historical Perspective on Title VII Bilingual Education Projects in Hawaii
At one time, the early missionaries used the native Hawaiian language to educate the Hawaiians, but it became difficult to make this language the medium of instruction for the children of missionaries and those of other nationalities who had immigrated to Hawaii.
The importation of plantation workers from a variety of nations and language groups brought about the evolution of a contact language that was widely spoken throughout Hawaii— Hawaii Creole English, or pidgin.
The Cantonese, Ilokano, Samoan, Tongan, and Vietnamese students and their parents are the primary beneficiaries of this Title VII comprehensive school grant.

Although there are many activities geared toward Ilokano learners in a classroom setting (Ilokano is taught as a class at the post-secondary level in Hawai'i, something not done in the Philippines!), a person learning via self-study can still benefit from the exercises.
Serious learners of Ilokano should not be without Espiritu's two books as well as Dr. Carl Rubino's masterpiece, his indispensable Ilocano Dictionary and Grammar which is also available from the University of Hawai'i Press.
The language certainly "felt" Visayan, but it was quite different from Hiligaynon, another language I've been exposed to which is spoken on Panay.

Of 99,000 Udmurt schoolchildren only 29,000 are learning the native language, whereas Udmurtian as the language of instruction is used only in the primary schools of the rural areas, where it is a preparation to the instruction in Russian.
There do not seem to be any obvious administrative obstacles to the expanded use of the Udmurtian language in schools, but there is the lack of teachers trained in Udmurtian, and of books and teaching aids.
The Parliament of the Republic of Udmurtia has declared the Udmurtian language the official language in the Republic parallelly with Russian, but the language law has met with strong opposition...
