Merge

[edit]

Let's get the discussion started whether or not to merge Languages of Bicol into Bikol languages.

Bikol Naga as "Standard"

[edit]

Seriously, why is there a "(Standard Bikol)" after Coastal BiKol Naga? This is Naga-centric. English language has many dialects in Britain, but still none of them are considered "Standard". There is also American English, but it is considered as good as the English from Britain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.92.130.2 (talk) 16:48, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bisakol?

[edit]

Can anyone cross-check whether Lobel et al. (2000) really employ the term "Bisakol" for the three Visayan lects spoken in the Bikol area, and whether they really treat them as part of the Bikol languages? Unfortunately, I don't have access to the book. But I have serious doubts about it, since Lobel never states anything that comes close to it in other publications available to me, e.g. in his contribution to the Concise Encyclopedia of Languages of the World. In the tree based on McFarland (1974), "Bisakol" was also falsely inserted as a branch of the Bikol languages, even though McFarland definitely treats them as Visayan languages in his dissertation. I suspect that the same distortion was done to the material from Lobel et al. (2000). –Austronesier (talk) 09:14, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use the sample video of the speaker talking in Bicol

[edit]

Not just that it is not straight Bikol, it does not give value on the emphasis that this article is expressing. 112.198.252.113 (talk) 17:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
