Mr. Villafania,

Eons ago, in my undergraduate Linguistics class, I remember doing a paper on the different dialects from the Philippines and I surmised that some of the dialects (i.e. Pangasinan, Ilocano) are, by definition, indeed languages because of the different root origins. I also remember some of the root words originating from either Malay or Mayan civilization. Are these far fetched, or what?
