Testing it out: Hetalia Bisaya Version

[alicebeckam]

This is something that was inspired by the many people who also posted their versions.

FYI, Bisaya (Visaya) is not a language but is rather a dialect. However, majority of the language is affected by the Spanish occupation (333 years before independence) and the Japanese invasion (WW2).

xD;; Umm, I have to say this though, as I am a fresh-grad linguistics major, but Visayan as a whole (or rather, Cebuano-Visayan to be more specific) is now regarded as a language. The dialects would be the Visayan varieties in the different parts of the Visayas and Mindanao areas (e.g. Boholano Bisaya, the Bisaya spoken in the rural areas of Cebu - like the southern towns).

Your version sounds fun, though I was thinking of the term "tuba" more as substitute for "bino" xD; "Ako Hetalia" would fit more nicely too. xD

Oh no D: I'm sorry, didn't mean to criticize that harsh! DDD: I was just giving out suggestions of my own, seeing that I couldn't do half of what you did D: but it's good, too.

It's already a language? Wow. I gots to edit. After my OJT.

Yeah, I thought of tuba too, but then I realized that it wouldn't be so good to hear, especially with my Boholano-Maribojoc accent.

Non, non , you're not too harsh! I actually appreciate your comment. I'll keep that in mind and make another version. :D

Yeah, since there are considerable a large number of Filipinos who speak Cebuano Bisaya as much as Tagalog though they don't want to admit that, lol.

Ahaha of course it's your call on how you make the version :D

Oh thank you~ I am kinda hesitant to criticize or to comment on people's works, especially if I couldn't do the work myself... but I do know how to critic, but in a good way. :D

[alicebeckam]

I accept critics as long as they are politely stated, and I am really thankful for your comment :D

I went to Manila and realized that when I accidentally spoke to a jeep driver in Bisaya, he understood LOL. And when I went around Divisoria I heard ladies rambling in Bisaya, then changing to Tagalog.

"Karon magtagay ta bai" makes me giggle~ ♥ Good job!

Seems that our Cebuano!Bisaya over here isn't much different from Bohol's... I guess? XD

[sakura_041888]

Nah, it isn't that much of a difference. Though Bohol Bisaya is distinguishable in its own right. :D

*is Boholana on her mom's part xD*

Oh, hey, you're from Cebu! And in the same school! ^_^

I've graduated, though D: but I'm now in graduate school. XD;

Not really...but then I think my accent is affected already by Argawanon Cebuano because I study there..
