antique is a province located in visayan group of islands, philippines.. the dialect that the people use there is called "kiniray-a".. kiniray-a is different from tagalog, the majority filipino speak.. example of kiniray-a words are: palangga ta ikaw (i love you), nahidlaw takun ron kanimu (i miss you already),...
ako si darckj, taga antique takun.. ikaw, taga-diin timu?

what's the difference between kiniray-a and hiligaynon? i speak the latter. we had the same translation for i love you.
i miss you already- nahidlay naku sa imu
asko si zelle taga negros... ikaw, taga-diin ka?
see some differences?
it's good that you poster this topic because a lot of those people speaking their regional languages are not that proud. some conceal their identity and language... though it's very evident in the way they speak.

hey, thanks for posting! after weeks of staying 0 responses! haha..
lets see, for the sentence: i miss you already
kinaray-a: nahidlaw takun ron kanimu
hiligaynon: nahidlaw na ko sa imu
i don't know, i am not intelligent.
kinaray-a: wara takun kamaan, bukot takun aram
hiligaynon: wala ko kabalo, hindi ko ya alam
mostly, the "L" is changed with "R", that is why some people say "garugumu gid tamun maghambal"..

i see. but i'm not sure of this. a lot of the old folks in my province would say that they were once used to speak kiniray-a before hiligaynon. i don't which of the language comes first. the only certainty is both have shared some commonalities. i have a friend from antique and speaks the same language that i speak. i can only note the difference in tone.
