hello guys! Was browsing through the net what other CEBUANO forums there are available! Was just browsing out of curiosity and I saw this one which was entitled "TAGALOG VS CEBUANO."

umm.. the filipino school curriculum classifies all mentioned above as dialects. there are at least 8 major dialects as per filipiniana studies. the only other philippine language i know of other than filipino is those from the ivatans of batanes. if you hear them speak, you cannot identify any filipino term used. their language is from that of their austro-polynesian ancestors.

the cebuanos can only dream that their dialect becomes the national language.

ohhh, absolutely...if spain never transferred the capital to manila....cebuanos are a proud people. actually when cebu insist to learn tagalog, the former governor of cebu (i forgot who he was) even change the lyrics of the phil national anthem to cebuano to pride itself over manila. in a linguistically diverse country who is very regionalistic, tagalog should not have been put into the spotlight after being declared the national language to avoid "imperialism" of some sort over the southern provinces who doesn't speak it. tagalogs should not act as if they are the more powerful than the visayans just because the government and media are all based there and forcing other people to learn their language and end up being laughed about because of their visayan accent. being filipino doesn't necessarily mean you have to speak tagalog because this might lead to unfortunate civil war or secession from the republic from those who oppose manila rule. well apart from language, culture and tradition also differs in the philippines, e.g. the moros in mindanao. with the controversy hounding the MOA on the bangsamoro juridical entity on ancestral domain, its a prime example that the south wants to be independent from manila and yet still part of the republic, which under a federal system provides!

the philippines could have retained spanish (if only the friars were enthusiastic about spreading the language) as the lengua franca to act as a "neutral" language of the country and level other native languages to avoid regionalistic sentiments. i guess, cebuanos were thankful the americans asserted the english language so that they can have a better grip against the tagalogs! and as #18 said, english is much preferred over tagalog when in the visayas and mindanao. the south loves a traveler who travels down south and speaks visayan dialects or english and hates a traveler who speaks tagalog when in fact its not "tagalogland" after all.

it is between POV's of pertaining people but I guess most of them are not cebuano's.. just like talking of religions kung where ka na belong adto jud ka mo laban. But definitely tagalog's got the advantage since ila language nman ang na gamit as medium sa pilipinas as a whole. And there's no other way mo ilis nasad ta cause it would be pain in the ass labi na kung i insert na sa curriculum sa schools.

sa ila pgka racist well i don't mind them because thats the fact of being human.. paaria lang na sila sa cebu para sila sad makatilaw sa atoa.. sa atoang pagka higugmaon.. ehehhe

and ako pud kalaguton is that tagalog is made the medium for translating english TV programs or movies
esp cartoons
My points is kids love to watch cartoons and it would be an advantage instead of just sitting
in front of the tv straining their eyes at least they can immerse themselves in english language
at least in the future they can reap fruits from learning good english...and unsaon man tawn na nato ang tagalog when we wanted to be globally competitive?

thats because of the industry. Not all people or kids understands english and the market analyst look at that. Imagine if gamay ra manan-aw sa imo tv show kay puro english walay mo advertise diha sa station then wala kay profit. Mao gi tagalog na nila cause everyone knows na here sa pilipinas tanan tawo nkasabot ana.. just like gud if naay movie na chinese or korean then dili i tagalog subbed nila naa bay mo tan-aw?
