Hmm, this is an interesting post...:-) I have studied in Tacloban City and learn how to speak Waray-waray. I'm very fluent in that dialect. Our native dialect is Bisaya coz I was born in Ormoc. I can also understand Ilonggo. And of course, all Filipinos are fluent in Tagalog. :-) So I can speak Bisaya (Cebuano), Waray-waray, a little Ilonggo, and of course English, and a little Spanish. I also learned some Slovene words, how i learn it, it's a long story...:-)

Boy, you are multilingual sis Maria! I always envy those who can speak more than 3 dialects, hehehe. I came from Southern Tagalog region and the only dialect we have is the Tagalog (Filipino). I am in the process of (self) learning Spanish.

My dad is my idol. He is an ilocano and he speaks fluent Ilocano, Ilonggo, Cebuano (with accent), Maranao, Maguindanaon, Spanish, Arabic, English, and of course tagalog. Unfortunately I only speak Ilonggo, Bisaya (iligan style),tagalog and English. I am more comfortable with bisaya and ilonggo though. I live in Iligan and I am trying to learn the muslim dialect (Maranao). Gone are the days of tribal wars between ilonggo versus ilocano or ilonggo versus bisaya. I love it when i gather around with my cousins and friends from all over the philippines and we talk in different dialects. It reminds me of the song of MAX SURBAN....

May tulo ako ka amigo, na pulos gayud gwatsinanggo

Makainum gani malipong ang ulo, mogula ang pagkamaldito

Kung mag-abot dayung debate lupig nila ang abogado

Labi na gyud ug mgahubog kay magkuntis dayun sa hambog

Sa hinambugay magdaog ta, ako waray, hilonggo ka, ug cebuano sab siya

Intra waray

Didto intoy sa among bungtod sa samar ug leyte

Ako kadak-an pinakareko nga pensyonado hang us navy

Salit bugto ko si Mc Arthur kaupayhan amoy rekwerdo

Giregalo na sa akon ang iyang antiyohos ug kwako

Sa hinambugay magdaog ta, ako waray, hilonggo ka, ug cebuano siya

Abante cebuano

Ako intawon mga amigo mantinil lang gayud ug pangnigosyo

Gi senyor senyor ako sa mga tawo kay tag-iya lang lagi ug mga barko

Ang siyam ko ka mga tarato giapuran kuna regalo

Sila tag dyes iktaryas kwadrado sa akung yuta sa menteryo

Tirato Hilonggo

Ako sa amo gyud aprop sa bacolod kag iloilo nga ako numero uno nga asindero sa tubo

Kun ako gyud inyo patihon pang olimpik gini ni kaayo, kay sa amo iya ang kawarta

ginapiko ginapala

Repeat 2x

Sa hinambugay magdaog ta, ako waray, hilonggo ka, ug cebuano siya

Ti mabatu pabagid kamo sa akon
