THE BIGGEST BISAYA CONFUSION

The Biggest Confusion among most Cebuano-speaking people in Cebu, Mindanao, Negros Oriental, Southern Leyte, and Southern Samar is that almost all of them think that their language is called Bisaya and that they are the only Bisaya people, which is totally False.

Even Hiligaynon-speaking people from Iloilo, Negros occidental, and part of Cotabato started to believe that Bisaya is an exclusive language for Cebuano-speakers.

This is like hijacking Bisaya terms away from other Bisaya people like the Hiligaynon, Waray, Aklanon, Capiznon, Kinaray-a, Bantoanon, Romblomanon, Cuyonon, Surigaonon, Butuanon, Tausug, and many others, depriving them of the Bisaya identity.

The reason for this misunderstanding, in my opinion, is that Cebuano speakers have consistently claimed to speak Bisaya and that other languages like Hiligaynon, Waray, and Aklanon are not Bisaya. Naturally, after hearing it for so long from Cebuano speakers, they eventually start to believe it, especially since they haven’t looked into the history of the Bisaya.

Is Bisaya a language?

No. It is a language family consisting of languages spoken in the Visayas and northern Mindanao. Bisayan languages include Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray, Karay-a, and Surigaonon, among others.

HOW DID THE ILONGGO AND CEBUANO PEOPLE SPREAD IN MINDANAW?

Ilonggos and Cebuanos moved to Mindanao during President Elpidio Quirino’s proclamation No. 376, or Philippine resettlement program, on March 10, 1953. This is the reason why 90% of Mindanao people speak the Cebuano language. Other Bisaya people who came to Mindanao were the Ilonggos from Iloilo in Panay; they settled around Cotabato and brought with them the Hiligaynon language. Other Bisaya languages spoken in Mindanao are Surigaonon and Butuanon.

WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 MOST SPOKEN BISAYA LANGUAGES?

(1.) Cebuano 21 million;

(2.) Hiligaynon 10 million;

(3.) Waray 3 million;


 * 1) The First Bisaya – Waray Dictionary “Vocabulario de la Lengua Bisaya”

The first ever Bisaya dictionary is the “Vocabulario de la Lengua Bisaya” by Mateo Sanchez, which was completed in 1616. A Spanish friar named Mateo Sanchez was stationed to Dulag, Leyte (he also worked in the surrounding territories of Eastern Visayas). The dialect of Binisaya used there was recorded. His “Arte” is a dictionary as a result of the language’s dominance in the text. His book is divided into two halves. A Bisaya-Spanish dictionary is included in the first section, while a Spanish-Bisaya dictionary is included in the second. In the first part, some Cebuano words are mentioned by Sanchez, and he would always say that a certain word is either from Zebu (Cebu) or Bool (Bohol). In the second part, for every Spanish entry, the Visayan equivalents are almost always in pairs. One in Waray, and the one beside it in Cebuano. There could be two or more pairs,” and it’s always the Waray words that come before the Cebuano words.

“Bisaya” was used to describe the Panay people.


 * 1) The  first Bisaya - Hiligaynon grammar book the “Arte de la lengua Bisaya Hiligayna de la Isla de Panay” grammar manual by Alonso Mentrida was finished in 1618. The “Vocabulario de la Lengua Bisaya Hiligueina y Haraya,” his dictionary, was released in 1637.


 * 1) What is considered to be the first Bisaya - Hiligaynon and BIsaya- Kinaray-a  dictionary, Bocabulario de lengua bisaya, hiligueyna y Haraya de la isla de Panay y Sugus y para las demas islas, was written by the friar Alonso de Méntrida in 1637.

Alonso de Mentrida was one of the first to use baybayin script to write Bisaya Diccionario de la Lengua Bisaya, Hiligueina, and Haraya de la Isla de Panay (Dictionary of the Bisaya, Hiligaynon, and Karay-a Language of the Island of Panay) in 1637.

Mentrida, Alonso de, 1559-1637: Diccionario de la Lengua Bisaya, Hiligueina y Haraya de la Isla de Panay (in Spanish; Manila: Imp. de D. Manuel y de D. Felis S. Dayot, 1841)

One of the languages spoken in Panay is named Hiligaynon, and Méntrida created a grammar for a language he termed Visaya-Hiligayna, also called Hiligaynon and one of the languages used in Panay. The Bisayan language family includes Hiligaynon. Although previously the term “Visayan” was used to describe the Panay people.

The books that Fr. Alonso wrote on grammar, catechism, and ceremonies are arguably best recognized. Among these are the Ritual for the Administration of the Saints Sacramentos, the Arte de la lengua bisaya hiligayna de la Isla de Panay, the Catecismo de Doctrina Cristiana en lengua bisaya, and others.

In 1590, at the Convent of Our Lady of Grace of Casarrubios del Monte, Fr. Alonso made his vows to the Order. While serving as a missionary in the Philippines, he held a variety of positions, including those of Provincial Definitor (1614), Prior of the Convento de San Pablo de Manila (1618), and Prior Provincial of the Augustinian Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus in the Philippines (1623). He also worked for other Augustinian institutions and missions in Panay (1607), Passi (1611), Bulacan (1617), and Bacolor (1620).

Among these are the Ritual for the Administration of the Saints Sacramentos, the Arte de la lengua bisaya hiligayna de la Isla de Panay, the Catecismo de Doctrina Cristiana en lengua bisaya, and others.

But the proper name of these islands is the Bisayas. Many tongues are spoken in them, for there are many islands and many villages, and there is hardly a village that has not its own dialect. But the chief tongues are the Boholan, which is spoken in Sugbú, and the Hiligain, and they are very similar.” History of the Augustinian Order in the Filipinas Islands by Fray Juan de Medina a native of Sevilla, formerly minister to the villages of Ibahay, Aclán, Dumangas, Passi, and Panay, vicar-provincial of that island, and prior of the convent of Santo Niño de Cebú. Written by his own hand in the year 1630

Visayans

The Visayans or Visayan people The Visayans or Visayan people (Visayan languages and Tagalog: mga Bisaya) are a Filipino ethnic group whose members share a great extent of cultural, historical and linguistic affinity stretching across islands within the Visayan Sea. The people are speakers of one or more Visayan languages, the most widely spoken being CEBUANO, HILIGAYNON, AND WARAY-WARAY. They live in the Visayan island group and in many parts of Mindanao.. The Visayans, as one ethnolinguistic umbrella and notwithstanding the population exclusive to that of Visayas, are the largest ethnic group in the country, numbering at around 33 million as of 2010.

KABISAY-AN refers both to the Visayan people collectively and the lands occupied by them. The Anglicized term Visayas (via Hispanized plural form of Bisaya) is commonly used to refer to the latter. Based on loose definitions, the unofficial boundaries of Visayas traditionally comprise the following provinces commonly known where Visayans or people with Visayan culture reside: Aklan, Iloilo, Antique, Guimaras, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Cebu, Siquijor, Bohol, Southern Leyte, Leyte, Biliran, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Samar, Romblon and Masbate.

According to H. Otley Beyer and other anthropologists, the term Visayan was first applied only to the people of PANAY and to their settlements eastward in the island of Negros, and northward in the smaller islands, which now compose the province of Romblon. In fact, at the early part of Spanish colonialization of the Philippines, the Spaniards used the term Visayan only for these areas, while the people of Cebu, Bohol, and Leyte were for a long time known only as Pintados. The name Visayan was later extended to these other islands because, as several of the early writers state, their languages are closely allied to the Visayan “dialect” of Panay. The impression of these similarities was in fact carefully analyzed by David Zorc, who, while able to linguistically classify the Austronesian subfamily termed Visayan languages, noticed their overall connections as one dialect continuum. However, these must not be confused to dialects, since not all Visayan languages contain a unified set of features.

#

The term Bisaya (Visaya) as applied in the Philippines, does not only refer to people but also to geography and language. Geographically, the Bisayas cover the islands of Tablas, Romblon, Sibuyan, Panay, Guimaras, Negros, Siquijor, Cebu, Bohol, Bantayan, Camotes, Masbate, Leyte, Biliran, Samar, and numerous smaller islands in the central Philippines. Linguistically, the word Bisaya refers to the language of the people in the region. It should be noted, however, that Bisaya comprises several closely related dialects, principally Aklanon, Kiniray-a, Hiligaynon (Ilongo), Sugbuhanon (Cebuano), and WarayWaray

The origin of the Bisaya ethnic tribes in BISAYA islands.

Legend

Based on facts compiled in a book Maragtas by Pedro Alcantara Monteclaro, written in 1907, there are legends which tells the story of the ten chiefs (Datus) who escaped from the tyranny of Datu Makatunaw from Borneo to the islands of Panay. The chiefs and followers are believed to be the ancestors of the Visayan people. The arrival is celebrated in the Festival of the Ati-Atihan in Kalibo, Aklan.

The Ilonggo consistently resisted Moro invasions. Every Friday, Muslim pirate Dallan Bakang launched a series of raids on Dumangas from his base in Guimaras. He was resisted in 1763 by the locals, who were headed by a woman by the name of Petra or “Pitay.” In preparation for other attacks, the people of Dumangas town built a tambobo ‘storehouse’, where they kept their food supplies and valuables. It was surrounded by a palisade and thick dalogdog vines. They then sent their ladies and kids to seek safety in Liboo, Barrio Calao. Later, the Spanish erected watchtowers on each corner of the church and reinforced it with stone walls. A church bell, whose sound could be heard as far as Guimaras to the south and Anilao to the north, warned the people of Muslim raids. The folks from Liboo returned to Dumangas feeling more secure. In 1848, however, the warning bell of Dumangas inadvertently brought an attack upon it, when a wandering band of Muslims followed its sound to the town. The last recorded Muslim attack on the Ilonggo was in 1865, on the island of Zapatos in northern Panay.

Because of their tattooed bodies, the early Spanish invaders called the inhabitants of these islands Pintados, or “Painted Ones.” As a result, the Visayan islands, which comprised Panay and Negros, were first known as Las Islas de los Pintados (Islands of the Painted Ones) and then as Bisayas de los Pintados (Islands of the Painted Ones) during the early years of Spanish colonialism. Cebu served as the capital of the province that included these islands. However, not all pintados, or tattooed individuals, were governed by Cebu. For instance, despite being populated by pintados, Marinduque was not a part of the Bisayas de los Pintados administratively.

External assaults fell victim to Panay. Nine Muslim invasions of Panay occurred between 1569 and 1606. Muslims primarily targeted the cities of Oton, Arevalo, and the island of Pan de Azucar off the coast of Iloilo between 1603 and 1606. There were several Dutch invasions in 1606. The coastal cities of Panay and its tiny islands were attacked in 1616 by a coalition of Dutch and Muslim forces. Therefore, Arevalo’s susceptibility to Muslim and Dutch invasion forced the Spaniards to move the government’s headquarters to La Punta in 1637, where they constructed a stone fort to replace the one constructed in 1602. Additionally, there was a lighthouse, whose location is now known as the Parola. Around the fort, which was subsequently called Estanzuela, a fish market and other shops grew. Around this location, Iloilo City expanded gradually.

BISAYA PEOPLE IN MALAYSIA

On the island of Borneo, the Bisaya are another indigenous group that originates from the northwest coast of East Malaysia. They are mostly found in the Limbang District of Sarawak, Kuala Penyu, Menumbok, Sipitang, Labuan Federal Territory, and the area surrounding Beaufort. The Dusun Tatana tribe and the Bisaya tribe are quite close, particularly in terms of language. If they converse with one another, it is clear that some of their dialogical language exchanges are nearly identical. Currently, the majority of Bisaya in Sarawak are Christians while the majority of Bisaya in Sabah are Muslims. Although they should not be mistaken with the Dusun people of Sabah, they go by the names Dusun, Jati Dusun, and Bisaya in Brunei. The Bisaya people are also recognized as Dayak kin, despite the fact that they are native to Borneo and were not imported there.

Language of Sabah in Bisaya. The Bisaya, Dusun, Kadazan, and Rungus ethnic groups and other peoples in the Malaysian province of Sabah on Borneo speak a set of languages collectively known as dusunic languages.In Sabah, the majority of the Dusun and Kadazan are Roman Catholic Christians. There are also small numbers of Muslims and adherents to other traditional religions.

Origin and etymology

The origins of the name of the Bisaya people have given rise to a number of theories from various experts. The name may have originated from the Sri Vijaya empire, according to Beyer H.O. in 1926, Hester E.D. in 1954, and Harrison in 1956 (Sonza, 1972). Eugene Vestraelen, a professor of linguistics at the University of San Carlos in Cebu City, warned that Vijaya’s linguistic derivation would not be Bisaya but rather Bidaya or Biraya in 1960.

Another theory was suggested by John Carroll: John Carroll (1961:499–541) speculates that the term “Visaya” may be derived from the Sanskrit word “Vaisya,” which refers to the third caste in the Hindu caste system. The phrase “Bisaya” from the Philippines, which appeared in Malay texts, meaning “slave” or “the country of slaves” and referred to a region of the Philippines where slaves were formerly discovered and kidnapped.— The word Bisaya in the Philippines and Borneo by Joh Carroll, 1960, Sarawak Museum Journal

It’s unknown where the word “Visayan” came from. According to some historians, it alludes to Shri Vijaya, the fabled ancestral homeland of the Visayans and an ancient island empire in Southeast Asia. Others see the phrase as a direct translation of the happiness-descriptive Visayan sadya or Tagalog saya. The latter version appears to stem from the stereotype that Visayans are a generally laid-back, fun loving and happy-go-lucky people. But as Visayans themselves would put it, they are a hardworking people who just know how to enjoy life.

Despite two scholars, Juan Francisco and Lourdes Rausa-Gomez, debunking this myth way back in the 1960-70s in scholarly journals and at least one book. https://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/209462/persistence-of-the-sri-vishaya-hoax

” Don Gonzalo Ronquillo founded a Spanish town in the island of Panay, in Oton, which he named Arevalo. During his term, the trade with the Chinese increased, and he built a market-place and Parian for them within the city, where the Chinese could bring and sell their merchandise” Antonio Morga, in his book, SUCESOS DE LAS ISLAS FILIPINAS described the Visayan men and women as “very clean and elegant in their persons and dresses, and of goodly mien and grace.” Ilongos as what Spanish documented of them 1582 – Book was written in Arevalo by Miguel De Loarca

Language of the Ilonggo

Ilonggo is sometimes referred to as the language, however Hiligaynon is the recognized standard tongue, and Ilonggo has never been a language. Although traditionally Ilonggo has never been referred to be the language, it is acceptable to refer to Hiligaynon as the language or people of Iloilo.

When Spaniard went to Iloilo they had written an account here to describe what the native people call themselves in Panay as Hiligaynon and Their language .“ The people of the coast, who are called the Yligueynes” (Miguel De Loarca – Relaciones 1582, Arevalo Yloylo)

Ilonggo is not a language

Ilonggo refers to people who trace their ethnic roots or bloodline to Iloilo Province on Panay’s Bisaya Island. The majority of the Ilonggos in Iloilo speak the Hiligaynon language; in some parts of Iloilo near the Antique border, some Ilonggos speak Kinaray-a. Hiligaynon is also the language spoken in Bacolod and Negros Occidental provinces, Roxas, Guimaras, and parts of Cotabato in Mindanao.

Ilonggo Is NOT a Language

ETYMOLOGY OF HILIGAYNON LANGUAGE AND ILONGGO PEOPLE:

The term “Hiligaynon” is derived from the Spanish term “Yligueynes”, which is then derived from the Hiligaynon word “Iligan” or “Iliganon”

Iligan or “Iliganon” refers to a river, or literally “where the water flows down”

“Iligan” or “Iliganon” is derived from “manog-ilig sang kawayan”, a phrase that describes bamboo poles.

The term “Ilonggo” is derived from the Spanish term “irong-irong”, referring to the Filipino word for nose (“ilong”) and an islet in the Batiano River in Iloilo, Panay.

“Ilonggo” is considered to define a specific group of people whose ethnic origins are in the provinces of Iloilo, Guimaras, and Panay, while “Hiligaynon” defines the language and culture of the Ilonggo people.Thus, both terms are interchangeable in referring to the culture of the people or the people themselves

Austronesian languages

In terms of the number of languages they contain and the number of places where they are spoken, the Austronesian languages rank among the largest language families in the world. Most of the Indonesian archipelago, including the Philippines, Madagascar, island groups in the Central and South Pacific, Malaysia, and large portions of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Taiwan, speak an Austronesian language. Among the major Austronesian languages are those spoken in the Philippines, such as Cebuano, Tagalog, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Bicol, Waray-Waray, and Kapampangan; Malay, Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Minangkabau, the Batak languages, Acehnese, Balinese, and Buginese; and Malagasy, which is spoken in Madagascar. Over a million people speak each of these languages, totaling over 386 million people worldwide.

Enrique speaks Malay, Spanish and Portuguese, and according to Pigafetta, is from Sumatra. Linguists contend that a Sumatran would not have had the same level of proficiency in the Visayan language spoken in the central Philippines as Enrique did when the expedition initially arrived there in early 1521. Enrique’s fluency in the local language helped Magellan forge an alliance with the authorities at the time and was crucial to the mass baptizations that would take place later.

Some think that Enrique may have grown up in the central Philippines before being sold into slavery in Sumatra. He later traveled to Malacca where Magellan bought him. Another possibility is for Enrique to have been born of Filipino parents in Sumatra or Malacca where he lived in a ‘Filipino Town’ community similar to ‘China Town’ communities around the world, from whence he came to the service of Magellan.

After the Massacre of Cebu, which occurs four days after the Battle of Mactan, Enrique vanishes from the annals of history.

Since Enriquez knows Malay language, he was able to understand some Cebuano words and was able to communicate with locals when they arrived in Limasawa and Cebu. In pre-Spanish time, many Austronesian words were similar in many different Austronesian languages, such as Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, Kinaray-a, which are spoken in the Bisaya region in the Philippines; Malay, Javanese, Sundanese, Madurese, Minangkabau, the Batak languages; Acehnese, Balinese, and Buginese, which are spoken in western Indonesia; and Malagasy. But some of the old Austronesian words have changed over time due to influence from other languages.

Here is the list of common Bisaya words in different Bisaya Languages: Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Waray, Aklanon, Capiznon, Kinaray-a, Bantoanon, Romblomanon, Cuyonon, Surigaonon, Butuanon
