# Hiligaynon, often referred to as Ilonggo, is an Austronesian language spoken in the Western Visayas and Negros Island Region of the Philippines. Hiligaynon is concentrated in the provinces of Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Guimaras and Capiz, but is also spoken in the other provinces, such as Negros Oriental, Antique, Aklan, Romblon, Masbate and Palawan, and in many parts of Mindanao such as Koronadal City, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat and in other parts of North Cotabato. It is also spoken as a second language by Karay-a speakers in Antique, Aklanon and Malaynon speakers in Aklan, and Capiznon speakers in Capiz. There are approximately 7,000,000 people in and outside the Philippines who are native speakers of Hiligaynon, and an additional 4,000,000 who are capable of speaking it with a substantial degree of proficiency.〔Philippine Census, 2000. Table 11. Household Population by Ethnicity, Sex and Region: 2000〕 It is a member of the Visayan language family. The language is also often referred to as ''Ilonggo'' (Spanish: ''ilongo'') in Iloilo and in Negros Occidental. Many argue, however, that this is an incorrect usage of the word "Ilonggo." In precise usage, "Ilonggo" should only be used in relation to the ethnolinguistic group that are native inhabitants of Iloilo and the culture associated with native Hiligaynon speakers, they argue. The disagreement over the usage of "Ilonggo" to refer to the language extends to Philippine language specialists and native laymen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=My Working Language Pairs )〕 Historical evidences from observations of early Spanish explorers in the Archipelago point out to the fact that the nomenclature used to refer to this language had its origin among the people of the coasts or people of the ''Ilawod'' ("''los () de la playa''"), whom Loarca called ''Yligueynes'' 〔Cf.

In contrast, the "Kinaray-a" has been used by what the Spanish colonizers called ''Arayas'', which is most probably a Spanish misconception (as they often misinterpreted what they heard from the natives) of the Hiligaynon words ''Iraya'' or ''taga-Iraya'', or the current and more popular version ''Karay-a'' (highlanders - people of ''Iraya'' ()).〔Cf.
