Talk:Hiligaynon language

message: Elaborating on my revert... I took a look at 140.118.160.223's source which I quote:
:The province of Aklan speaks Aklanon which, like Hiligaynon, developed from Kinaray-a.
:Though distinctly different from Hiligaynon, Kinaray-a and Aklanon are conveniently considered by many linguists and literary researchers as subsumed in the lingua franca. Current writers in Kinaray-a and Aklanon have shown that it is not so.
I am not sure where the idea came from that Hiligaynon comes from Kinaray-a.  This is a misconception that is spread by Karay-a writers like Alex de los Santos. Taking a look at language trees, one will find that Hiligaynon is more closely related to other Central Visayan languages like Waray-Waray and Romblomanon. Kinaray-a and Aklanon, on the other hand, are of the West Visayan branch and are related to Onhan of Romblon province.  
Furthermore, I object to the statement saying that linguists assume that Kinaray-a and Aklanon are from Hiligaynon. The several Philippine linguists I am acquainted with do not believe this idea. --Chris S. 00:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, I do not speak Hiligaynon, so my edits should be thuroughly reviewed by others. I used http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hiligaynon.htm as my source for the alphabet.. Note that the pronounciation of sy is missing.. I couldnt quite read the IPA in the gif i used as a source.  I hope someone can fix that.
I'm vague in places, because I really do not know.. I figure my contributions may have value as a starting point in spite of this.
My girlfriend writes "ma'yong aga".  I notice other sources say "maayong aga".  Is it even proper to refer to it as an apostrophe in this context?

replies: text: Maayong aga is the formal version, ma'yong aga would be the informal version, equivalent to a contraction, like "what's" instead of "what is", or "don't" instead of "do not". — • Kurt Guirnela • ‡ Feedback 03:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Tagpila ina nga karne?
"How much is this beef?"
I would just like to point out that 'karne' means 'meat' and 'ina' is 'that'.
'Beef' in Ilonggo is 'baka' or 'karne sang baka' as in 'meat of cattle'. 'This' is 'ini'.Si lapu lapu (talk) 21:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed it as "karne sang baka". Just an interesting sidenote as well - both words are Spanish loanwords, from Spanish "Carne" ('meat') and "Vaca" ('cow', pronounced exactly the same as the filipino word - 'baka'). Changed "inâ" ('that', referring to something at a distance), with "ini" ('this', referring to something held or close by).--Obsidi♠nSoul  02:04, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "ining" is just a contraction of "ini nga", same as how the bisaya "kani nga" is usually just "kaning". Easier to say, but they're technically the same.  "ini" also doesn't exclusively mean something held, it could be something close by being pointed out. For the sake of a more accurate translation, the subject has to be mentioned. Maybe the example sentence itself needs to be changed--Obsidi♠nSoul 23:04, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Karne and ina 

message: hiniraya has its ilaya or iraya meaning mountain, in short, language of people living in mountain area. Bisaya means local or native. Tagalog from a term taga-ilog whose 'i' is contracted. Waray from 'walay' an old version of wala which means nothing(notably fr. their expression 'waray gəd!' ...have none). Bukidnon, from its geographical features which is mountainous or mabukidon(visayan term) or whose another alternate inflection is bukidanon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Likum (talk • contribs) 10:21, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  rootword for hiligaynon? 

message: Bacolodnon dialect should be merge. The reason that I thought is only it matters with the accent of speaking. That is depend on the regional descent. Perhaps Bacolodnon dialect claims to be modern. Which in fact influence by the modernization. But I think not official or have its claim.

replies: text: I think it should be merged; if it's just a dialect of this language, it doesn't need a separate page and would be better handled here. --KarlB (talk) 21:53, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My apologies. I support the proposal of merging the Bacolodnon dialect to Hiligaynon.

message: In one of the articles, you'll see a confusion between 12:00 noon and 12:00 midnight. Isn't the smallest number supposed to be at the starting and not the biggest number? Also, why are we using 12-hour clock instead of 24-hour clock if we know that there are 24 hours in a day? Midnight should always be 00:00.
