What Philippine Dialects Do You Speak?

I know Tagalog, Pangalatok, and Ilocano

I know some but not many and these are Hiligaynon/Ilongo, tagalog that's it!

i speak--and think in-- the ilokano language, being an ilokano. i know also tagalog and a bit of bikol. i only speak tagalog when i'm talking to a tagalog or other person who don't understand ilokano.

by the way, the so-called "filipino" which is climed by some as the "national language" is just a dialect (or sub-dialect; dialect is distinct from the language) of tagalog.

Hi alatecablebill, first I never described our languages as dialects. Dialects are inferiors to languages. I'm a bilingual by birth, Ilokano and Pangasinan. I've known tagalog and english as they were enforced in schools. I could understand some of Cebuano and its derivatives.

Can I ask one? What is the difference of Bisaya and Cebuano, Is Cebuano a dialect of Bisaya?

I speak Tagalog and Ilokano. I am from La Union which is within the Ilocos Region (Region 1). Ilokanos are located in Regions 1,2 and some parts of region 4. I know a few words in Cebuano language.

Like you, Tagalog, Ilonggo, Cebuano. My father is from the north (Pangasinan) and my mother is a transplant from Marikina, Rizal and San Juan (We are from Davao City, or at least used to love there). I never managed to speak Pangalatok though It sounds to me like Pangalatok is the German equivalent in RP. Very hard to pronounce and remember.

my mother tongue is Tagalog for i was born and raise in Southern Tagalog Region...
but since i got married i was able to learn speaking and understand Cebuano and Bisaya...its because my husband is from Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao and now we are living here in Cebu...and so its a must for me to learn their dialect...

I am living in Mindanao so I speak visayan dialect, but I am fluent in Tagalog, Boholano and Leyteño too since my maternal grandparents hailed from Bohol and Leyte.

I only know Tagalog and Cebuano but then they aren't dialects because they are considered languages. I would love to learn more though but I never really had the chance to.

I was born in Negros Occidental, but was raised here in Cebu. My mother tongue would be Cebuano, but I learned Ilonggo due to my frequent summer vacations in my parents' home province. As a Filipino, I can speak the national language with a certain degree of fluency. I learned a bit of Surigao as well but I don't practice it.
