	Lowlands-L Anniversary Celebration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Language information: Balanguingui Sama is used by the predominantly Muslim Balanguingui people that inhabit parts of the Greater Sulu Archipelago and southern and western coastal regions of the Zamboanga peninsula in Southwestern Philippines.
		Certainly as far as language is concerned, they are probably correctly considered belonging to the group of Bajau (or Badjao) communities of parts of Malaysia (Sabah, Sarawak and the east coast of the mainland), Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia (coastal Sulawesi) and the Southwestern Philippines.
		Their language, Balanguingui Sama, is to various degrees mutually intelligible with other Sama varieties of the Philippines and Sabah.

	Essays on Philippine Languages
		language which, based on the principal dialects of the Islands, might constitute the means of inter-communication of ideas in the entire Archipelago, and which might obviate the absolute need now felt of using a common foreign tongue as a means of transmission of ideas, sentiments, and aspirations of the inhabitants of the Philippines." (Romualdez,1936: p.302).
		This bilingual approach serves to promote the intellectualization of the national language --that is, to use it as medium of intellectual exchanges in the academe, government offices, as well as in other disciplines in the process of acquiring knowledge about the world which could be expressed by the said language.
		Language change is, however, gradual and it will probably take several years before a substantive convergence can occur.What is apparent for now is that the convergence is already taking place.

	Language
		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
		A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

		English is the language of the public schools (from fourth grade through college) and is the de facto national language of business, commerce, law, government, and often the mass media and popular entertainment.
		Like many other Asian languages, they also have a single word for the gender pronouns "he" and "she." Apart from grammatical and phonological characteristics, it is noteworthy that one particular dialect called "Chabacano" (a local language spoken in the area around the city of Zamboanga in Mindanao) is heavily mixed with Spanish.
		However, as a functional language, Spanish is clearly peripheral, and a relatively small number of Filipinos (primarily Spanish mestizos) speak it fluently (particularly because it was used exclusively by the wealthy, land owning families during the period of Spanish rule, and no more than 10% of the population ever spoke it).

		To many, the Surigaonon dialect is quirky because of a marked profusion of y's that comes from substituting most l's with y's.
		For this, Surigaonons are called waya-waya in the same way that people from Samar are called waray-waray.
		We Surigaonons are being derided for our dialect.

		Cebu City School Superintendent Leonilo Oliva, after a visit in Singapore to look into their educational system, strongly suggests the use of the Cebuano language in our schools as an initial medium of instruction in Grades 1 to 4 before they are taught the basics in English.
		It must stop imposing on the Filipino people a language that is alien to many Filipinos and can never be considered a national language in its truest sense.
		The Constitution is very clear that a national language still has to be evolved and to be included are the major "dialects" (languages, really) in our country.

		Language And Dialect - Majority of the resident of Lanuza speaks Cebuano followed by Manobo and Waray respectively.
		It further prevails that Lanuza's occurred because of those inhabitants going to other places and though Surigaonon has only 42 in account still the combination of Cebuano or Binisaya and Surigaonon occurs and spoken in the town.

	VISAYANS IN HAWAII
		Spoken in the central and southern Philippines, it is comprised of roughly 25 languages, some near extinction with under 1,000 native speakers and others spoken by millions.
		COVO's objectives are: to organize and unify the several Visayan organizations in Hawaii, to perpetuate the Visayan language and cultural traditions, and to assist in the educational, social, and economic advancement of Visayans in the larger Hawaii community.
		The response was that, as long as there are Visayans in Hawaii, and as long as they remain proud of their language, culture and roots, COVO will continue to play a significant role in the community.

		But as they saw the openness and transparency with which we conducted the project, and as they realized the benefits coming to them because of the undertaking, they themselves protected the site and they accepted us fully into their homes and their community.
		With all these positive social, economic, and cultural changes taking place in the lives of the Panhutongan villagers, there is ground for optimism that their being on the margins of existence and their having to face desperate choices daily will ultimately be things of the past.
		This undertaking requires careful planning and a substantial financial outlay, not to mention the use of heavy equipment to remove the huge boulders that collapsed on the mouth of the cave.

		Actually, they are not considered dialects but are already considered as languages because of the number of speakers who use them.
		"Filipino" the one taught in school and called the national language is considered by most non-tagalog speakers (especially those from the visayas) as a tagalog dialect.
		No, tagalog is not my native language and many of our folks may understand tagalog but cannot speaks tagalog well.

		I guess they are going by population of the country when they made the list and assume those ppl all speak the national language.
		I read that Cebuano was a strong contender when the new philippine government was deciding on which language should be the lingua franca for the whole country.
		From what i read, Tagalog was choosen because it had the longest literature heritage of all languages of the Philippine islands and that was already widely used during the spanish revolution movement and i think i read that Tagalog was not as diversifed in dialect as the Bisaya languages.

		Management denies, in the strongest possible language, the earlier leak that Rudolph's nose got that way, not from the cold, but from specific substance abuse.
		Calling Rudolph "a lush who was into the sauce and never did pull his share of the load" was an unfortunate comment made by one of Santa's helpers and taken out of context at a time of the year when he is known to be under executive stress.
