THE AXTHUR

IXTROHGCTIOX The publication of a Bisayan grammar has been eagerly awaited by many. It has been desired by those who are interested simply in the study or a native dialect. It has been needed by all Americ::1l1s who desire an acquaintance with the language of the peopla am\)l1g wh om thpy Jive in ordrl' that they may get into clos'3l' touch wit b the great ma"s of n::lt ivf's as yet un'lbl e to spea k either Spanish OJ' Ettgli!:ib. It has oeen r~,.tu(路",terl by many native:; who \vish t.o improve their l'\~~ <>f Lhei r nl\Otb ,~ l' tongue. To all such, the present \'olnme will prove of great \'alue.

The anthor is recogniz ed throughout Samar and L eyte as one of the highe~t authorities on the Samal'eilO dialect.

His statements may therefore be accepted as au thorl tativH His treatment of pl'efixes and suffixes, of similar words with tlifferent meanings, and of the various forms of the verb are ('specially interesting and valuable.

It is hoped that MI'. ~ol'berto Roml1;ildez may be able to c:1l'ry out his int@ntion of putting out a combined grammar and language book designed ~specially flH' those just beginning the study of Bisayan. Such a work in conjunction with the present grammar wO\.lld immensely facilitate the acquisition of a speaking knowledge of the :lialect.

'fhi::! book is not i,ntf'nrled to

Bearing in rni nd that there has ne\'er been any previons trf'ati!'e on thi.~ s\lbject 'orthy the lllHlIP, the whole tield therefore retl'l3ining practically unexplored, it. will \lilt be surpri"illg that the u~e of spare moments cO\'ering only a. short period has left much of the tield untlcvL'JulJed. However, what has beell collected in thi::; Ijook will be found to be of pri1l1ary importDnce tu anyone cle,;iring to gDin n, quick acqu<1.intance with tbe (lialect for immediate practical 11 St'.

The author haJ no intention of launching this work at the present time; but it i" d lIle at the belle"t of his American friend", who lUl\'e urged him to issue what has been collected, a portion only of what is intended ultimately to be a complete treati,;e and gr:lInmur of Bisayn.n, in order that thi,; material Illay be u\'ailable fur the U"e of rerilons

(",) Arcorlling to the llllture of the Bisaya!l dialect and according to what some Filipino philoiogb't;s have written, Rii',l\l among them, referring to the dialects ill the Philil'PillCS, t-he lelbers of the Bjsayalliallguage must be the following: fl, b, d, e, g, i. h, i, k, 1, ID , n,l o, p, r, s, t, u, y, 'v . .

As it Qan be noticed, t..he letters c, f, j , ii, q, v, x and z are omitted from the preceding list, Ilnd g ana \v are ~I1Ll'oull('ed. The reason for this i~ as foUows: c, in its sound as in city. can be sul;stituted by the letter s; and, in its sounel like c in cup, it clln be substituted by k. i is never u sed in BiJ;IlVRn. j, in its Spanish son n<:1', can he substituted by h, whicll has an aspirate pFonut1Qiot.i()ll ill BisIlYf\1l ill all CflJse'l. In Bisaya n, there is no sQund like that of the Etll{lish j; howeycr. in Rome placcs on the western and southern coasts oi Leyte , tile y is prollollnced like the English j, as in maa'yo (pronounced muhuh-joil) good.

The 8panhJl letter fl, or a $ound like it, can be written in Bisayan more properly wilh the combiJlation of these two letters ny, as in rninyo (Pl'. mean-yo) married. q is not neecssary, since the k can be used in all cases, where q is needed.

The phl'l\se qlliquUcwll co (1 Sllllil see iLl can be perfectly written kikilcwn ko.

T is neyer used in Bis,tyan. x, in its Spanish s.)l1lld, cun Le substituted by k8; and, in its English sounds, it CRn be substituted lJy gs or k8, respectively.

Z, in either its English or Us Spanish 'ound, is never used in nisayan .

TI1e 'ii is for the naml sound that is yery often used in Bisayan, like the ng in .~OJ1g, longiny. The g is preferable to the combination nil, which would sometimes lead to ('o11fnsion; because this ('ombinatiou ng in Bisayau, is not pJ'onoulJl'ell us olle leLter. in m,lllY instanl'es, bnt each of these letters is pronounced; liS, for example, the word /Juga (fruit), iI written bunga, should sound f)oonggILel" , whkh l1H'tl llS Ie <1cu·t or to b.: da'rtllc/ . w iR needeu in 1111 ctl'es of sllunds like Spunish dipthongs; but it must be ulled in Bis!l),an flllyays as " COnSotHlU., IJel'er ilS a vowe l.

NotwitiJst>1l1dillg' th~ Vl'eeeding considi'rlltiOIlR, the orthography u erl ill this bool< is [lIe olLl <lIle, ILl I "imp1itl~d to 11 ('el'lain extent, on tlccount of the [nct t1IAt thL'l <llphlliJd (if it ('IlH be properl), <, .. ned Ull aiphabd, it having no J or so und of .n iH not yet used, e,'ell known, but by very few persons Ilmong the BiHIl)' n!l spl:!llki Ill': people.

Tt ",,,"ld be I'NY <1esil'llhlc for the people to adopt the new orthography proposcd ill this note , b~(,l\l1s ~ it i' evidently more simple and proper for the parti(ular 11J11ure of 1lu' .Bi~U)'Ull diulect.

While the hyphen (.) is also used in Bisayan to connect parts of :\ word di\'idecl at the enu of a line, and to cunnect two or more n0I111"" adjectives, or particles, so a'l to flll'm them into a single compound, it has an additional Ilse which is to separate distinctly the syllables of certain word" th:lt would haye a different meaning or r.one at all without tbe said sepn,ratiotl. Examples:

ARTICLES .

There are three C]aE'SE.'R: Definite: an (the) Indefinite: in (a) Personal: hi or si (no equivalent 'in Englh3h) .

•

Th( defin;te article, as well as the inde.fin·ite, is used in Bi. nynn ill the . sarne manner as its equivalent in Engli::l, The c1efin'te article,' howe"er, is sometimes med hefore proper nouns, nnd. it is very often usee1 Defore the dellJonstrati\'e and pOE'sessi ve .pronouns. Examples: NaC<inhi an bata (the boy or girl has come) N in ba t~ ( ~ . bv)" or gi rl has cnme) An DY08 (1) m.tcagf'gah In (Sou is omnipotent An j ni ng~~ budd (tllis flower) An aeon cal'o (my hat)

aea nm

The pei'sonul rti'.::le i.s alwl ys used before the names of persons; it 1's also used bef!ore the personal pronoulJS, except the third persons. Examples.

Hi Pedro (Peter) Hi aco (I) Hi icao (YOLl) Insteau of hi, si may .be uE'ed. (2) These articles do not chang~ in gender. Exampl es: lin nnllty (the fathe:), an iroy (the mother); hi Juan (John), 'hi ~raria (Mary).

The definite and indefinite articles change in the plural 111 tbe' ,following way: •

mga

The objective case covers all the different cases used in other 1n.nguages aftl?r the nominative. that is to say, the genitive, dative, accusative ;nd ablative cases, RULES, 1. The Bisayan articles are used immediately before the words to which they refer, 2, The definite article may be used without expresaing the object to whieh it refers, having, in this case, the nature of u relative pronoun. Examples:

An nagtutootl, nahabibs'ro (He, who studies, learns) . .4n mga nagtl1tutd~ ha aton (They who teach us.)

(*) See "Contractions",8up,'a. As it lR seen, the m is for mao This contrac' tlon shows eXI4cLly the way in which the BisllYlln original letters were I1sed.

It Is simply the nnciellt WilY of writing preserved after the adoption of the Spanish letters.

-9 :1. The pElr~onal article IS alwaYFi neces<:al'y before the namps of persons. It is n ot correct to .3 ay "Pec1ro nl1gsu5urat"; hi i: 11 " (L (:,,1, and it mnst be: " b ' Pe d ''C' _la gSl1SUrat" (Pet!'!' is writiolI).

E':.. Cl:PTIO~S. 1. Between the definite articlt! and the word I( whicb it refers, other words may be placed, iL) some inslanceR, as ill this phrase:

.An 1111 nga balay (thiE house), or an maopay nga bat~ (the good boy

01' girl). reglllar order in constructing tbe last phra.se is: an batR nga maopay.

2. \rhell tbe names of pâ&#x201A;Źrsons case, the personal article. is not med.

The

are In the vocative Thus we say:

Mariano, c df dao (Mmriano, come, please).

Pamati, Juan (listen, .John).

3. In the objective case of hi; can is used before the nrb, and ni after tpe verb. Ex,amples: An can Juan guinsunit (what John wrote) An guinsurat ni Juan (what John wrote)

N. B.-The indefinite article, wheo needed at the beginning of the sentence, is replaced by the phrase "usa ng.a."

So, if we wish to Bay "a boy came yesterday," we should not say

in bat~ nad,nhi cacoloPi but us;;;' nga bal~ na.c~lnbi cacol6p.

This phrase us!t nga is nut a perfect article, but it hus the cbaracter of an ndjl'cti \' e, even when used flS an article. TherefoH" both tile indefinite in and the pb]'a~e - may be 111:'-ed in the I:'-ame sentence, So, we can lisa nga f'ay, l:lJanging tl1P regular order of the last sentence:

.

Generally , as it has been olrt:: rved in the preceding examples, the adjectives follow the same rules. As , from l11atam-is (sweet), matam-isay, malomo (soft), malomohay, halipot (short), halipotay.

But in mnst of the adjE:ctives fcrmed with rna (a particle bearing the idea of abundan~e) and ha (2) (a particle that bears the idea of place), like rnaopay , mabusag, mapula, hataas, haiaba., the prefixes rna or ht!l are disr egarded in the formation of their diminutives, th eir abstract roots being the only elements taken into consideration, as if such (1) But if the primitivE' is 711 CL p lt la, the diminutive will be ma,p ttl apula, a s will be noted later.

(2) In some places In ,Leyte# and S搂.mar, this: particle is hi, 110t ha , where it is said hibob~. hilipot, h'ilaba, hUaas. But, in my opinion, it is simply a result of confounding the particle ma which is more proper fo r adjectives a s it bears th e idea. of abundance , with the personal !uticle h'i with which it is thus intend ed to personify the abstract ideas of bolio, lipot , taba , t~a$ .

Examples: from boLon (fountain), mobonh~bon (4) (fontanel); val.\;iyo (borse), dampog (cloud), cttrocabayo, darod.hnpog, (objects that are like a horse 01' clouu).

Whpl1 the pl'-imitive has not, llJOre than two syllables, the formn.tion of its figllrati\'e follows the same rulN) as those for the c1issyllnhir diminutive. As, (\) Jt. 1,as al~o Ihe )'l'gulfu fOl'ln "'lCllctl)~lal/".

But when th~ primiti-ve has more than t wo syllables, or its 路last vowel is preceded by more than one consonant or is pronounced separately from the consonant preceding it, its figurative is formpd by adding to the root a prefix composed of its first syllahle if it begins with a consohant or of its first vowel if it begins with a vowel and the s.vllable ro (a particle that bears the idea of imitatiol1, repetition, or collection). As, from sacaylin (boat), sarosacli yan ulalaUpan (centippoe), uroulalahipan isda (fish), iroisda can'on (cooked rice) ca.rr0can'on (1) NOTE.-Many of the figurative nouns have the same forms as the collective.

V~JRBS

SUPPLETORY

Irregular conjugation The .snppletory verbs in Bisayan are tho~e formed by the pronouns "ini", "adi", "ito", "iton", "adto", "adton"; to supply the English "to be", and those formed by t.he adverbs "dinbi", "ctidi". "dida", "did ton", dithon", "did to", to supply the Ralll e vGrb "to b~" a uri n.ls) the verbs "to com 13", and ,路to go." Of these verbs we call pronominal tho~e derived from pronoLlns, and adverbial those derived form adn~rbs.

PRONOMINAL FORM.

This is a defect.ive form, as it has only one infiertion which consists in doa bI i ng the Ii rst vowel it bei ng for the present tense, ind'icativ路e mood. Ex.: iini aoo (I am here) andi cap)} are nere) iito hiya (he or she iR there) iiton hint (they are there) aadto en. (you urI'! there) uadton carna (you are there)

ewe

NO'fE. In same places of Leyte, as Dulag, these forms are not used but instead of them, tbe pronouns are douhIed as: il1iil1i, ndiadi, itoito, etc.

III lll'ing these forms it is }Jrefel'uble to bu\路e the pronoulls postponed to tllt'm.

J.\Inriy foreign w6rds have been and are being inlroduced in j he Bisayan conversations and writings.

Rhythm and rhyme He observed in Bisayan poem~ .

The rhyme is not so perf..,ct as that of the Spanish verses. Consonant words or with similar sounding endings are employed in Bisayan.

Kinds of metel. There are two kinds d meter moSt used in Bisayan poetry: verses of six verses of eight syllables, and verses of twelve syllables divided ill two it-agments of six syllables earh.
