Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โ๏ธ
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐ต๐ญ
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Ah yes, my first Reddit debate since the blackout.... Are Hiligaynon and Waray dialects of Bisaya or not
(note: don't judge me if I become active again on Reddit orayt, I wanna split time between there and Lemmy for now)
Not.
I'm assuming by "bisaya" you mean what Cebuanos use.
Exactly. The OP's original point was that Cebuano is a dialect of Bisaya. I asked them if they consider also Hiligaynon and Waray to be its dialects as well. Ayun na nga, dinamay pa pati Romance and Sinitic languages lol
