    There’s no such thing as Hiligaynon dialect. Only an Ilonggo dialect. What is known Hiligaynon was a Weekly MAGAZINE. Let’s put the matter in proper perspective.

    Have you checked this one
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiligaynon_language

    Ilonggo refers to a group of people who speaks hiligaynon language.

    Attention: admin

    Very true – Ilonggo refers to a group of people,
    particularly coming from Western Visayas, who readily introduce themselves as Ilonggos. Here in our place now posted a Classified Ad inviting job applicants who can speak Ilonggo, and not Hiligaynon.

    In your place, they’ll probably think that “Ilonggo” is more recognizable. But if you’re here in Iloilo, it’s known as hiligaynon.

    It doesn’t mean that if it’s posted on classified ad, they’re correct. They’re just using that word as a slang.

    There’s a DICTIONARY on ILONGGO dialect translation – not as HILIGAYNON as you assert. Pretty sure u’ve gotten hold of it. CLEAR to u now.

    I was born in ILOILO and speak ILONGGO.

    Good Luck! God Bless! Good Health!

    Ilonggo is used since it has easier name recall than hiligaynon. I also have dictionary with HILIGAYNON to tagalog translation. Let’s put it this way. If you check out in National Bookstore, you’ll see “learn to speak chinese” when actually it should have been “learn to speak Mandarin”. And people just say that Japanese speaks japanese when their language is actually called Nihongo.
    People would just readily assume that you speak the language based on your place of origin. What’s NOT acceptable for me is when you mentioned that “There’s no such thing as Hiligaynon dialect”. In Palaca Awards category, Hiligaynon is officially recognized as dialect of ilonggos and not “ilonggo”.

    @fewzam, well it’s your choice if you choose to keep your own perspective on it. I’m pretty much confident on my own stance. I’m not going to argue with someone whose mind is already made up.
