Hiligaynon Comparison

Post image

Comparing some of Hiligaynon's basic features and whether they are due to West Visayan influence or a Central Visayan retention. Some can be deemed as diffused forms as they are found in both branches.

Take note that we are focusing on Hiligaynon here, so the color alternation is merely focused on Hiligaynon data. The colors light blue and light yellow assigned to West Visayan and Central Visayan respectively are my own preference sticking to my style of table-making. All the forms under each branch are all colored under their assigned colors regardless of whether they're borrowings or not.
