When you are in a new place wouldn’t it be great if somehow you can manage to at least, speak the local dialect even if it’s just the basic ones. Well if you are planning to have your dream vacation in Baguio City then I think it would be helpful for you to learn some basic Ilocano phrases. Now, the reason why most people in Baguio City speak the Ilocano dialect is, in part, due to its geographical location. Baguio City is mainly surrounded by Ilocano speaking provinces. La Union to its west side, Ilocos Sur and Abra to the north and Pangasinan province on the south side. And with the immigration of the people from these provinces also follows the adoption of its dialect. So, don’t be surprised if Ilocano is also spoken here in Baguio aside from the provinces of La Union, Ilocos Sur and Norte, Abra, and Pangasinan. Additional information, Baguio City is home to many immigrants, like me and my wife, from other parts of the country. The language that is commonly spoken by majority of the population here is Ilocano. Mostly, however, are also conversant in the English and Filipino language. Other local dialects includes Kankana-ey which is widely spoken by people who are living in the northern part of Benguet and Mountain Province, Ibaloi which is predominantly the dialect in the southern part of Benguet province and is somewhat closely related to Pangasinan dialect, Ifugao dialect spoken by the people from Ifugao province, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, and Cebuano. Now here are some useful Ilocano phrases that might come in handy with your vacation:
What is your name? Ania ti naganmo? My name is ______ . siak ni ______. Please. Pangngaasim . Thank you. Agyamanak. Yes. Wen. No. Saan or Haan. Goodbye (informal) Innakon. Good morning. Naimbag a bigat. Good afternoon.Naimbag a malem. Good evening. Naimbag a rabii. I don't understand. Diak maawatan. How much is the fare to name of the place?
