true. Especially if you live in a region with different main languages spoken per province. You will learn more than just 3. For example, here in Region 12, locals from the northern part of South Cotabato and majority of Sultan Kudarat speaks Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), but the other half of the region are predominantly Bisaya. Hence, because people travel to and fro between these provinces, people can switch languages depending on the place's main language. Not to mention that there are also locals who speak other languages like Ilocano, Tagalog, Muslim, and others. They know even more: the language they speak at home, the community's language, and the neighboring cities'/town's language.

Blame that on our education system. In schools, the subject is called Filipino, and the medium of dialect they teach is Tagalog.

@@statixfearnot to disappoint you, our education system also failed you. Tagalog is a language 😭. One of the eight main languages that pillars the filipino language. Dialect is more of quezon tagalog and bulacan tagalog.

Guys, this isn't hard. Filipino is a dialect of Tagalog. It's the standardized version taught throughout the archipelago to serve as a bridge language for everyone who doesn't natively speak Tagalog. The biggest crime of the education system is not clarifying the difference languages and dialects, making it seem like dialects are every Philippine language not considered the national language.

@@Zombi4SaRap im sorry, im not being rude, just clarifying, Filipino is a language. You said it yourself its a bridge language, a lingua franca for Filipinos. Dialects are little to average changes in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary due to geographical differences. Language on the other hand has a unique set of grammar, vocabulary, and morphism. Bisaya and Filipino have a unique vocabulary, grammar and morphism. An example of a dialect for bisaya would be Cebuano, Boholano, and Davaoeño.

Only certain regions of visayas and mindanao. Southern luzon is bicol

Souther Luzon are tagalogs except palawan

@theguywhoasked-r7e I know our country teaches tagalog and English, but I'm from the northern/center part of Luzon so I don't know much about the popular local language in the rest of our country and I mostly use use ilocano to communicate with my relatives and local in Ilocos(the ilocanos there are much nicer) Bagiuo (sometimes most of them are English speakers in the city area , but I understand cuz I see lots of foreigners there and my cousins interacts with them at school alot , but some of my elders still use ibaloy, kankanaey and other ethnic igorot languages I guess ) and Vizcaya (in this midland area, most people who speaks ilocano here are kinda toxic like I hear an 8yr kid saying UK!t nam/ pu+@ng inamo, and I always get bullied in school on my childhood in here for being an igorot , some kids here are toxic and racist ) what's Palawan like? Is it true that Mindanao produces the most cacao and durian in our country?

​? Palaweño ako tagalog ang gamit namin lmao or cuyonon.😂​@@theguywhoasked-r7e

Pero majority mga taga palawan tagalog ang gamit pero sa mga bukid cuyonon ang kadalasan salita.

Waray is part of the Bisaya Language family

@KarkySphere sure, but that's just terminology. You can't go speaking bisaya in Calbayog and expect people to understand you. And no Waray would say "Bisaya" if you ask them what they speak.

​@@bons244 then would you care to explain why her mom was speaking bisaya from this clip? kzbin.info/www/bejne/roOZqJiChKd8hdksi=31ZRNqB7C60kOVPA

@@moritzscwarzhen2434 in that case, maybe she's not originally from Samar. Possible as well she studied/lived in Cebu or somewhere Bisaya and getting things mixed up. Only she can clarify what's up. Also, it's literally just one word "ayaw' which is a common word used in almost all Philippine languages. She did not speak a whole sentence or even a short phrase.

​@@bons244 True. Waray is another sub-dialect for the Visayan language, along w/cebuano(bisaya) and hiligaynon(ilonggo). I had some filipino friends that were from Samar during my college life in ph. Shockingly, we spoke to each other in bisaya. Is Waray like a main dialect or some sort of conyo-stuff in Eastern Visayas? I also watched rae's ph vlog, it was weird for me to understand what the ppl in the background and her mom were saying even though I don't speak any Waray, just bisaya and english. My mom is from Cebu while my dad is American if you're asking.

Gay

Yeah it's where you read the word in reverse, for example, in bisaya "tae"(read as ta-eh) means poop do when you say it in the gay slang it becomes "eatch"(eh-atch), the 'ch' at the end is just flavor suffix that they normally use. Sometimes they also reverse the order of syllables instead of the letters. I know quite a bit about this considering my aunt has A LOT of gay friends so I was exposed to this lingo/slang from quite a young age.

@@LeHarmacistnobody cares and its eat which is just reverse of tae or poop

@@kvfk8917 get better bait 🥱

yup hahaha words being flipped, and new words being made

Yeah i wonder why 😂 it's like it benefits her or something.

more engagement

her mother is from Calbayog, Samar!

@@seagullswifeu9824 then her mom's Waray. Not Bisaya.

​@@bons244 Her mom and relatives were speakig Bisaya not Waray. There are bisaya speakers in Samar

@@bons244 Waray is Bisaya. Bisaya is the name of the ethnic group that live in Visayas - so who came first the ethnic group or the island grouping eeeeh? - Bisaya is also the languge group of the languages spoken by Bisaya [ethnic group]. and lastly Bisaya is just what you call anyone who is Bisaya [ethnic group]. Bisaya as a language is a misnomer, there is no such thing as the Bisaya language - just Bisaya languageS. There is Cebuano, which is what people think of when they say Bisaya [language] - probably due to how widespread it is, but it is NOT Bisaya [the non-existent language], just Cebuano. Fun fact my GF from Misamis Occidental would quite often say us, Cebuanos, don't know how to speak our language and have butchered it. Well jokes on her I'm Hiligaynon and Waray-waray who just happen to be born in Cebu, I don't speak a lick of Waray and only know to meme in Illongo but I sure as hell am not buchering my mother tongue ahehehe
