Category:Hiligaynon (Language)

This language is also called Binisaya, Ilongo, Ilonggo, and Hiligainon.

This language is spoken by 7,000,000 people in Iloilo and Capiz Provinces, Panay, Negros Occidental, and Visayas in the Philippines. This is the Binisayan spoken in the Bacolod and Negros Occidental cities of Iloilo and Roxas. Those that speak Cebuano can understand it, but those who speak Hiligaynon have difficulty understanding Cebuano due to the number of words shortened by leaving out a consonant (ususally "L") and sometimes vowels.

It is also spoken in Hawaii in the United States of America.
