Talk:Bacolodnon dialect

I just wonder what makes the Bacolodnon dialect differ from the Hiligaynon in Iloilo. I'm a native speaker from Iloilo and I just recently saw a Hiligaynon movie from Bacolod on Cinema 6. I've read about this article and paid close atention to the way they talk in that movie. I realized it sounds exactly like the accent we have in Iloilo City (possibly because the people of Bacolod were migrants from Iloilo). Just listen to native speakers of Hiligaynon in Iloilo and compare it to the one spoken in Bacolod and you'll find it sounds very similar. (Karay-a speakers speaking Hiligaynon has a different accent from native speakers of Hiligaynon. So make sure that person is really a native Hiligaynon speaker).

And Bacolodnon dialect isn't the only dialect of Hiligaynon that uses brand names to name a place or circumstances. Using "xerox" for photo-copying and "Kodak" for picture taking is common in Iloilo too (but they use "toothpaste" for toothpaste instead of "Colgate").

I just think that the dialect in Iloilo should share the same credits the Bacolodnon dialect have. (In fact, I think the dialect here in Iloilo and the one in Bacolod are one and the same).

 * I agree with this. I already selectively merged redirected the Bacolodnon dialect article to the Hiligaynon language to correct Pansitkanton (talk) 14:14, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
