1. ILONGGO
The language is referred to as Ilonggo in Iloilo
and in Negros Occidental. Many argue,
however, that this is an incorrect usage of the
word "Ilonggo." In precise usage, "Ilonggo"
should only be used in relation to the
ethnolinguistic group that are native
inhabitants of Iloilo and the culture associated
with native Hiligaynon speakers, they argue.
The disagreement over the usage of "Ilonggo"
to refer to the language extends to Philippine
language specialists and native laymen
