The Philippine language is called Tagalog
Does anyone? How long did it take you to learn? I want to learn ilocano, is it better to learn when I speak Tagalog fluently? I know people who can teach me Ilocano (she's my godmother, she is an Ilocana who grew up in Agusan Del Sur, will her accent differ from a person who grew up in Ilocos?

Hi there. I am an Ilocano but grew up in Baguio. Ilocano is widely spoken in many provinces in the northern regions of the Philippines as well as some provinces in Mindanao (Ilocano settlers in the past made this possible). Most probably, the accent of the language you will acquire will be affected by the language you were originally exposed to but that doesn’t matter at all. In fact, Ilocano has varied accents depending on many barriers and situations.
The Ilocano that is spoken in Baguio by many Cordillerans sounds the funniest of all according to the ears of many pure Ilocanos because Cordillerans pronounce the hard way. Wen which means yes would sound like WIN to Cordillerans. Ilocanos who grew up in Baguio speak Ilocano not in the Cordilleran way but in most cases, the way the language is spoken in their parents’ hometown.
Ilocano spoken in Ilocos region also varies. The same is true for Cagayan and Isabela where people speak the soft way. Ilocanos in some areas of Tarlac like Ramos, Tarlac speak the language without any accent.
An accent may be funny and strange depending on the place where you are but I don’t know if that remains to be a fact these days. Growing up in Baguio and with the language not really spoken by the family, I learned to speak it in the Cordilleran way until I was criticized by many Ilocanos whom I met in college. Now I speak in both the Cordilleran Ilocano and the more acceptable accent to many Ilocanos.
But knowing that you were not raised in the Ilocandia, it is okay if you will not be speaking Ilocano the way it is spoken there. What matters is how you are able to come up with sentences and that you will be clearly understood. It is in fact amazing for you to be learning it because you want it and that is for communication’s sake…
By the way, if you know Tagalog, you can possibly learn Ilocano. It takes substition.
Ex.
Ano pangalan mo?
Anya nagan mo?
Ilang taon ka na?
Mano tawen mo’n?

Taga anu ka?
Hindi kita makilala.
Madi ka malasin.
Alam mo mag-Ilocano?
Ammo’m ag-Ilocano?
Puwede bang magluto ka?
mabalin agluto ka?
In most cases, it takes substitution. You can buy your own Ilocano dictionary to help yourself…
Take care….
ohh!! the ninong of the brother in law of the gf of my cousin
i am unlettered…………….
i,m tagalog but can speak bikol (my ex wife) and few ilokano (my best friend), it’s easy to learn ilocano if you already knew the pilipino conjugations, the dialect just differ. Your g-dmother who grew up in agusan del sur would have a different accent than those of the ilocos regions and nearby provinces, like baguio,mountain province,cagayan, pangasinan, tarlac, nueva eciya and n. viscaya and even ilokanos who grew up in other non ilocano region.
as me, though i speak bikol fluently, my accent is a flaw to those who are natives of that region.
I do speak the dialect fluently, but can’t spell correctly with some words, or can’t say all the right words sometimes. Your right her accent maybe different from the ones who grew up from the Ilocos provinces.
I myself adapted some of my mom’s Cagayan(tuguegarao) words that they never use in the Ilocos province where i grew up.
you can ask me for help. hehehe.
i am ilocano but i only know a few words like:
ammok ti ag ilokano=i know how to speak ilocano
papanam?=where are you going?
naimbag a bigat=gud morning
naimbag a malem= gud pm
naimbag a rabii= gud evening
napintas= pretty/beautiful
ania ti nagan mo?=wut’s ur name?
ti nagan ka ket…=my name is… or
siak ni= i am…
well thats all i got! hope you learn something
asa a dont teach if you are not sure , ok?
ti nagan KO ket ….. my name is
ko its not ka …. ok?
i can teach ……
I can speak Ilocano because my mother and father both came from Luzon. I was born and raised here in Mindanao, General Santos City to be exact. So we used Ilocano dialect at home. Yes, Ilocano in Mindanao don’t have the same accent with Ilocano in Luzon. The way people speak Ilocano in Luzon have rhymes and rhythms in every words. And every words have this soft "e" sounds like the word "WEN" meaning YES.
before you learn to speak ilocano , you need to be kuripot first and mukhang pera..
example,, you charge your mother monthly rent because she lives in your house…
i am!
my mother is ilocana..i just learned to speak ilocano when i was 9 years old…just by interacting with other people…trying to understand the communication and some help from my mom if i didnt understand a word…it is easy to learn the dialect…just go outside where ilocano’s & ilocana’s stay and communicate..it is easier to learn from that way..
I was born in Baguio City. Although i was taught English since childhood, my childhood friends always talked in ilocano dialect that is why I learned to speak the dialect.
I can also speak Pangsinan dialect since my family is originally from Pangasinan and are Pangasinense. I can also speak bicolano =)
i speak fluent ilocano.. i was born and raised in manila with ilocano speaking people in our house..
hi
could someone please translate “la wen lattan’
thank you in advance

I’m pretty sure Ilocano is a language on its own, NOT a dialect. The best example of dialects are Ilocano spoken in Bangued, Abra vs. Ilocano spoken in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.
I think you should ask your grandmother what town and province did she or her ancestors came from before deciding to settle in Agusan del Sur.
But generally, Ilocanos in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and La Union are the original Ilocanos, and thus are more likely to speak Ilocano in its original form. Ilocanos in Abra, where I came from, are usually immigrants from Ilocos Sur. Ilocanos in Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya and some Central Luzon provinces are from La Union. Ilocanos in Cagayan and Isabela are from Ilocos Norte.
Ilocanos in Mindanao, Mindoro and Palawan are from different places in Luzon.
