Batangas Tagalog

Grammar

The most recognisable difference is the use of the passive past tense (in Standard Filipino) in place of the present progressive. In Manila, this is done by inserting the infix -um- after the first syllable then by repeating the first syllable.

Example 1:

root word: kain (to eat)
ka-in (syllabication)
k-um-a-ka-in (eating)

Example 2:

root word: tawag (to call)
ta-wag (syllabication)
t-um-a-ta-wag (calling)

In the Batangan dialect however, this form is done by putting the prefix na- to the word.

Example 1:

root word: kain (to eat)
ka-in (syllabication)
nakain (eating)

Example 2:

root word: tawag (to call)
ta-wag (syllabication)
natawag (calling)

This conjugation of the verb is becomes funny because as what was mentioned above, this would mean the passive past to Manileños. When someone asks 'Nasaan si Pedro?' (Where is Peter?), one would promtly answer 'Nakain ng isda!', which translates to 'He's eating a fish!'. However, to those unfamiliar with this kind of usage, the statement would mean 'He was eaten by a fish!' (Just imagine how big a fish it is).

Morphology

Another undeniable character of the Batangan Tagalog isa the use of the verb ending '-si' instead of '-na', especially in the command form. It should also be noted that is only happens when the verb stands alone in a sentence or when the verb is the last word in the phrase. However, when another word is put after it, Batanguños would rever to the use of the '-an' form.

Example 1:

Person A: May nakatok ho sa pinto [Someone is knocking at the door (said politely, as the marker polite marker 'ho' is used)].
Person B: Aba'y, buksi! (Then open it!)

However:

Person A: May nakatok ho sa pinto (Someone is knocking at the door).
Person B: Aba'y, buksan mo! (Then open it!)

One could also notice the use of the absolute degree of an adjective, something that is not heard anywhere else. It is roughly the equivalent to the use of 'issimo' or 'issima' in the Spanish and Italian Languages, something absent in the other Dialects. This is done by putting the pagka- in front of the word.

Example 1:

Pagkaganda pala ng anak ng mag-asawang are ah!
The child of this couple is indeed beautiful!

Example 2:

Pagkatagal mo ba.
You move so slow.

One noticeable characteristic of the Batangan Dialect is the use of the dual number for pronouns. Although this hasn't completely disappeared in some other areas, this form is almost never used in the Manila dialect.

Example 1:

(Batangan Tagalog) Kita na! (Let's go!)
(Manila Tagalog) Tayo na! (Let's go! lit. Let us...)

Example 2:

(Batangan Tagalog) Buksan mo nga ang telebisyon nata. (Please open our telly.)
(Manila Tagalog) Buksan mo nga ang telebisyon natin.

This grammar structure is a remnant of the ancient Tagalog grammar that went on with very little change in the province for centuries.

Also, intonations more often than not tend to rise, especially to express extreme emotions.

Phonology

Another noticeable difference is the usage of the closed syllable, a practice that has completely disappeared in the Manila dialect. The town of Tanauan is actually pronounced [tan-'a-wan] whereas it would be pronounced as [ta-'na-wan] by other Tagalogs. This is also true with words like matamis, pronounced matam-is and a couple of other more words.

Also, as mentioned above, the dialect spoken in Batangas is more closely related to the ancient Tagalog. Thus the merger of the phonemes [e] and [i] and the phonemes [o] and [u] are prevalent. Also, absent in other dialects is the use of the schwa sound. This incident is common simply because the dialect spoken in the province is spoken faster compared to other dialects.

Something prevalent in the Batangan dialect that is lacking in other Dialects is the sound [ei] and [ow]. However, unlike its English counterpart, this diphthong is sounded mainly on the first vowel and very rapidly only on the second. This is very similar to the [e] in the Spanish word educaciòn and the first [o] in the Italian word Antonio.

And as a proof that the Batangan Dialect is closer to the Old Tagalog than any other dialects, the practice of merging the phonemes /e/ and /i/, as well as /o/ and /u/, are still very noticeable. One can hear the words 'lola' (grandmother) pronounced as if written 'lula'. This is also true with the word 'baboy' (swine), which is pronounced 'babuy'. However, everyone will tell you that you misspelled the words when you use the latter in writing.

Vocabulary

Locative adjectives are ire or are (this) and rine or dine (here).

Vocabulary is also divergent. The Batangueño dialect has several translations for the word 'slip' (fall), depending upon -how- a person falls. He may have nadulas (simply slipped), nagtingkuro (lost his balance), or worse, nagsungaba (fallen on his face.)

People from Manila may ask why a student comes home before the scheduled time, when the teachers have earlier announced that they would have to go to school. The student will just answer, May pasok, pero walang klase. This simply means that the student would have to go to school to have his or her attendance checked, but there is really no class in session.

To the confusion of other Tagalog speakers, the Batangueños also use the phrase, 'Hindi po ako nagyayabang!' to mean 'I am not telling a lie!', whereas Manileños would simply say 'Hindi po ako nagsisinungaling!'. For them, the former statement means, 'I am not bragging!'

A panday is a handyman in Batangas whereas it means a smith in Manila. An apaw is "mute" ("overflow" in Manila; mute is pipi). La-ang is equivalent to lamang (only) in Manila. And when they don't believe you, they would exclaim 'anlaa!' which is roughly a shorter translation of wala iyan (that's nothing/false) in Manila Tagalog.

For more of the Batangas vocabulary you could refer to http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=8600

The Batangas dialect is also known for the particle eh. While the incidence of its usage is noticeable throughout the province, some variations exists like ala eh. In reality, this particle has no meaning in itself, often added only for emphasis on certain statements. Its closest equivalent in English would be the conversational context of "Well,..."

BALISONG - Ang Ipinagmamalaki ng Taal, Batangas

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8459/balisongclosedwo8.jpg

While the meaning of the term "balisong" is not entirely clear, a popular belief is that it is derived from the Tagalog Language words baling sungay (literally, "broken horn") as the original balisongs were made from carved animal horns. These knives are also referred to as "fan knives" or "click clacks."

The use of the balisong is so popular in the Philippines that an urban legend exists about every Batangueño carrying it everywhere he goes. They are a pocket utility knife used by people of Filipino society. They have also been used to fight duels over matters of honor, although such practices have been discontinued for decades.

Batangas Tagalog

Grammar

The most recognisable difference is the use of the passive past tense (in Standard Filipino) in place of the present progressive. In Manila, this is done by inserting the infix -um- after the first syllable then by repeating the first syllable.

Example 1:

root word: kain (to eat)
ka-in (syllabication)
k-um-a-ka-in (eating)

Example 2:

root word: tawag (to call)
ta-wag (syllabication)
t-um-a-ta-wag (calling)

In the Batangan dialect however, this form is done by putting the prefix na- to the word.

Example 1:

root word: kain (to eat)
ka-in (syllabication)
nakain (eating)

Example 2:

root word: tawag (to call)
ta-wag (syllabication)
natawag (calling)

This conjugation of the verb is becomes funny because as what was mentioned above, this would mean the passive past to Manileños. When someone asks 'Nasaan si Pedro?' (Where is Peter?), one would promtly answer 'Nakain ng isda!', which translates to 'He's eating a fish!'. However, to those unfamiliar with this kind of usage, the statement would mean 'He was eaten by a fish!' (Just imagine how big a fish it is).

Morphology

Another undeniable character of the Batangan Tagalog isa the use of the verb ending '-si' instead of '-na', especially in the command form. It should also be noted that is only happens when the verb stands alone in a sentence or when the verb is the last word in the phrase. However, when another word is put after it, Batanguños would rever to the use of the '-an' form.

Example 1:

Person A: May nakatok ho sa pinto [Someone is knocking at the door (said politely, as the marker polite marker 'ho' is used)].
Person B: Aba'y, buksi! (Then open it!)

However:

Person A: May nakatok ho sa pinto (Someone is knocking at the door).
Person B: Aba'y, buksan mo! (Then open it!)

One could also notice the use of the absolute degree of an adjective, something that is not heard anywhere else. It is roughly the equivalent to the use of 'issimo' or 'issima' in the Spanish and Italian Languages, something absent in the other Dialects. This is done by putting the pagka- in front of the word.

Example 1:

Pagkaganda pala ng anak ng mag-asawang are ah!
The child of this couple is indeed beautiful!

Example 2:

Pagkatagal mo ba.
You move so slow.

One noticeable characteristic of the Batangan Dialect is the use of the dual number for pronouns. Although this hasn't completely disappeared in some other areas, this form is almost never used in the Manila dialect.

Example 1:

(Batangan Tagalog) Kita na! (Let's go!)
(Manila Tagalog) Tayo na! (Let's go! lit. Let us...)

Example 2:

(Batangan Tagalog) Buksan mo nga ang telebisyon nata. (Please open our telly.)
(Manila Tagalog) Buksan mo nga ang telebisyon natin.

This grammar structure is a remnant of the ancient Tagalog grammar that went on with very little change in the province for centuries.

Also, intonations more often than not tend to rise, especially to express extreme emotions.

Phonology

Another noticeable difference is the usage of the closed syllable, a practice that has completely disappeared in the Manila dialect. The town of Tanauan is actually pronounced [tan-'a-wan] whereas it would be pronounced as [ta-'na-wan] by other Tagalogs. This is also true with words like matamis, pronounced matam-is and a couple of other more words.

Also, as mentioned above, the dialect spoken in Batangas is more closely related to the ancient Tagalog. Thus the merger of the phonemes [e] and [i] and the phonemes [o] and [u] are prevalent. Also, absent in other dialects is the use of the schwa sound. This incident is common simply because the dialect spoken in the province is spoken faster compared to other dialects.

Something prevalent in the Batangan dialect that is lacking in other Dialects is the sound [ei] and [ow]. However, unlike its English counterpart, this diphthong is sounded mainly on the first vowel and very rapidly only on the second. This is very similar to the [e] in the Spanish word educaciòn and the first [o] in the Italian word Antonio.

And as a proof that the Batangan Dialect is closer to the Old Tagalog than any other dialects, the practice of merging the phonemes /e/ and /i/, as well as /o/ and /u/, are still very noticeable. One can hear the words 'lola' (grandmother) pronounced as if written 'lula'. This is also true with the word 'baboy' (swine), which is pronounced 'babuy'. However, everyone will tell you that you misspelled the words when you use the latter in writing.

Vocabulary

Locative adjectives are ire or are (this) and rine or dine (here).

Vocabulary is also divergent. The Batangueño dialect has several translations for the word 'slip' (fall), depending upon -how- a person falls. He may have nadulas (simply slipped), nagtingkuro (lost his balance), or worse, nagsungaba (fallen on his face.)

People from Manila may ask why a student comes home before the scheduled time, when the teachers have earlier announced that they would have to go to school. The student will just answer, May pasok, pero walang klase. This simply means that the student would have to go to school to have his or her attendance checked, but there is really no class in session.

To the confusion of other Tagalog speakers, the Batangueños also use the phrase, 'Hindi po ako nagyayabang!' to mean 'I am not telling a lie!', whereas Manileños would simply say 'Hindi po ako nagsisinungaling!'. For them, the former statement means, 'I am not bragging!'

A panday is a handyman in Batangas whereas it means a smith in Manila. An apaw is "mute" ("overflow" in Manila; mute is pipi). La-ang is equivalent to lamang (only) in Manila. And when they don't believe you, they would exclaim 'anlaa!' which is roughly a shorter translation of wala iyan (that's nothing/false) in Manila Tagalog.

The Batangas dialect is also known for the particle eh. While the incidence of its usage is noticeable throughout the province, some variations exists like ala eh. In reality, this particle has no meaning in itself, often added only for emphasis on certain statements. Its closest equivalent in English would be the conversational context of "Well,..."
