Alforque's Bisaya-English Thesaurus-Dictionary

By Vivian Y. Alforque PhD and Anecito S. Alforque

ABOUT THIS BOOK

This book is a product of the love and passion of the Bisaya language and its intent to preserve it. The authors wish to share this desire to fellow Bisaya and other Bisaya-Speaking tribes in the Visayas and Mindanao Regions where the Bisaya vernacular is widely spoken and understood.

This book, named Alforque's Bisaya-English Thesaurus-Dictionary is intended to enrich the user's vocabulary and mastery of both the Bisaya and English languages especially among speakers and writers who want to speak and write from Bisaya to English and to those who need rich reference to synonymous words in the Bisaya and the English languages.

This is an all-inclusive and exhaustive collection of Bisayan words, aside from the authors' knowledge, being a native Bisaya themselves. Meticulous consultations and referrals were made from people who are proficient and knew the language so well. This collection is also crafted through thorough research from several Visayan-English Dictionaries, Spanish-English Dictionaries, English Comprehensive Thesauri, and other relevant sources for accuracy in translations. Therefore, the authors do not claim total originality of the words included in the compilation of the entries in this book, except for their zest of producing a one of its kind, Bisaya-English Thesaurus-Dictionary in printed and digital forms.

In using this book as a ready reference or as a word finder, it is expected that this word treasury of synonyms will help avoid repetitiveness and improve word power through the right choice of words to achieve accuracy and efficacy of thought expression. However, this is not limited to speakers of Bisaya wanting to find appropriate word translation in English but could as well be a resource to learners of Bisaya Vocabulary as this offers appropriate selection of similar words.

Bisaya is written with Latin Alphabet consisting of 20 letters, representing 5 vowels and 15 consonants. They are given below in their traditional order and are used in the alphabetical listing and positioning of words in this thesaurus:

A B K D E G H I L M
N Ng O P R S T U W Y

The entry words are based on unconjugated root words, with no affixes. For example, dagan (run) is the main entry word. There is no more entry for modagan, ningdagan, nagdagan and daganon except the affix, ma and maka. Part of speech is indicated after the word since meaning changes according to use. Bisaya has only 3 vowel sounds, a, i, u as oppose to Pilipino or Tagalog, the national language, which has a, e, i, o, u. Thus, it is common to see spelling of words with e and i, o and u interchanged.

This may not cover all the Bisaya words, but it has put together over 8000 entry words that are most relevant and widely used.

INTRODUCTION

Alforque’s Bisaya-English Thesaurus-Dictionary is intended for Bisaya speakers who wish to enrich their speaking and writing skills using the prolific Bisaya and English languages. This book offers a wide array of on-point synonymous words in both languages.

Confusion arises as to which nomenclature is best to refer to when it comes to language in Central Visayas and in parts of Mindanao. Is it Cebuano? Sugbuanon? Visayan? Bisaya or Binisaya? They are all synonymous, however there are variants in some words that are only endemic in certain regions. Thus, in the case of this book, Bisaya is preferred, encompassing languages spoken in all geographical regions of Visayas and the majority of Mindanao. Bisaya or Binisaya is the proper word since it is not only widely used in Cebu but by a large group in other provinces of Visayas and Mindanao and Cebuano just comprise the biggest chunk in these areas.

Language is part of cultural heritage. The Bisaya language seemingly is losing some of its words due to the evolution of both the user and the language itself. Thus, this book will provide a ready reference of Bisaya words that may otherwise not be used nowadays. Spoken by more or less 20 million Filipinos in the Visayas and big cities in Mindanao, Bisaya merits its revival and preservation. Since language evolves, there are new words that are derivatives from other languages found in this book.

PASIUNA

Ang Alforque’s Bisaya-English Thesaurus-Dictionary gimugna para sa mga mamumulong og Bisaya nga buot mopalambo sa ilang kahanas sa pagsulti ug pagsulat pinaagi sa paggamit sa pinulongang Bisaya ug Inglis. Kini nga libro nagpadayag og halapad nga han-ay sa mga angayan og tukma nga pulong nga susama ang kahulugan sa duha ka pinulongan.

Adunay mga kalibog kon unsa ang labing angay nga terminolohiya ang gamiton para sa lengguwahe sa Kinatung-ang Bisayas ug ubang parte sa Mindanao. Kini ba ang Sebwano, Sugbuanon, Visayan, Bisaya o Binisaya? Kining tanan susama ra, apan adunay diyotay nga kalainan sa matag rehiyon. Busa, kini nga libro migamit sa Bisaya kay kini milangkub sa mga pinulongan sa Kinatung-ang Bisayas, Kasadpang parte sa Sidlakang bahin sa Bisayas, Habagatang parte sa Pilipinas ug Kinabag-ang parte sa Mindanao. Ang Bisaya o Binisaya mao ang angayan nga pamulong kay kini dili lamang gigamit sa kinabag-an sa Sugbo kon dili gigamit sa kadaghanang lalawigan sa Bisayas ug Mindanaw, ug ang Sebwano mao lamang ang labing lapnag nga gigamit.

Ang Pinulongan kabahin sa kulturanhong kabilin. Sa paglambo sa pinulongan, ang mga ninggamit niini naimpluwensiyahan paghupot og bag-o nga pinulongan, ug inanay na nga nawagtang ang mga pulong nga Binisaya. Busa kini nga libro nagahatag og andam nga talaan sa pinulongang Bisaya nga sa pagkakaron anam-anam na nga nawala. Ang pinulongan nga Bisaya gigamit sa may biente ka yukot (milyones) nga mga Filipino sa Bisayas og mga dagko nga siyudad og kalungsuran sa Mindanao, mao nga angayan hatagan sa pagtagad o bili sa pagbanhaw ug pagpatunhay. Sa laing bahin, ang pinulongan molambo usab, busa adunay mga bag-ohay nga mga pulong nga hinulaman sa laing pinulongan ang gilakip niini nga libro.

MAHITUNGOD ANI NGA LIBRO

Kini nga libro produkto sa gugma ug sa mainitong pagbati sa pagpreserbar sa Bisaya/Sebwano nga sinultihan. Ang mga tagsulat nanghinaot nga mapaambit ang ilang pagbati ngadto sa mga kaubang Bisaya ug uban pang mga tribung migamit og Binisaya sa Bisayas ug mga rehiyon sa Mindanaw diin ang panultihong Binisaya maoy sinultihan ug nasabtan sa kadaghanan.

Kining Alforque’s Bisaya-English Thesaurus-Dictionary gituyo alang sa pagpalambo sa mga naggamit sa pinulongan aron mamahimong batid sa Bisaya ug Ininglis ilabina sa mga mamumulong ug manunulat nga buot mamulong o mosulat gikan sa Bisaya ngadto sa Ininglis ug katong nagkinahanglan og halapad nga kapangitaan (reference) sa mga kapulong (synonymns) sa Bisaya og Inglis nga pinulongan.

Kini usa ka malangkubon ug makahago nga pagtigum sa mga pulong nga Bisaya, gawas mismo sa kaalam sa mga tigsulat isip mga lumad nga Bisaya. Makuti nga pakisayud ug pagpangutana sa mga tawo nga dako og kahibalo sa pinulongan ingon man ang pagdukiduki sa mga diksyonaryo nga Visayan-Inglis, diksyonaryo nga Katsila-Inglis, comprehensibo nga tesawro sa Inglis ug uban pang susama nga mga tinubdan alang sa tukma nga hubad. Busa, ang mga tagsulat niini wala moangkon sa pagka-orihinal sa mga natigom nga mga pulong gawas lamang sa ilang kasibot ug gugma sa paghimo og usa ka nilahi nga Bisaya-Inglis tesawro-diksyonaryo nga pinatik.

Sa paggamit niini nga libro isip usa ka tamdanan o usa ka pulong-pangitaanan (word finder), naglaum ang mga tagsulat nga kini mamahimong bahandi sa mga kapulong (synonymns) aron malikayan ang pagbalikbalik og gamit sa mao ra nga pulong ug aron mouswag ang kaalam diha sa bokabularyo (word power), pinaagi sa paggamit sa husto o tukma nga mga pulong sa pagpadayag sa panahom. Apan, dili kini limitado sa mga Bisaya nga nangita og husto nga hubad sa pulong sa ininglis kun dili usa usab kini kakuhaan sa mga magtutuon og bokabularyo nga Bisaya kay kini nagatanyag og daghan nga kapilian sa mga pulong.

Ang Bisaya gibase sa Latin nga Alpabeto nga adunay biente ka letra, lima niini nagrepresentar sa bokal (vowel) og kinse niini mga katingog (consonant). Kini gilista sa ubos sa kinaraan nga paghan-ay ug mao usab ang gigamit sa alpabetikong paglista og paghan-ay sa mga pulong niini nga tesawro-diksyonaryo:

A B K D E G H I L M

N Ng O P R S T U W Y

Ang binahig nga pulong gipasikad sa gamut-pulong (root-word) nga wala pa mabutangi og mga langgikit (affixes). Pananglitan, dagan (run) mao ang entradang pulong (entry word). Wala nay entrada sa modagan, ningdagan, nagdagan, o daganon gawas sa mga pangunanggikit (prefixes) nga, ma ug maka. Gilakip ang parte sa pagpamulong (part of speech) sa matag pulong kay kini mausab pinasikad o depende sa paggamit niini. Ang Bisaya adunay tulo (3) lamang ka tingog bokal (vowel sounds) a, i, u dili susama sa Pilipino o Tagalog, ang nasudnong pinulongan, nga adunay lima (5), a, e, i, o, u. Busa dili ikatingala nga ang e ug i ug ang o ug u magkabaylo-ay sa pagtitik o espeling.

Dili man kini molangkub sa tanan pulong sa Bisaya, apan natigum niini ang labaw sa walo ka libo (8,000) nga entradang pulong (entry word) nga maoy giisip nga labing angayan ug kasagarang gigamit. Mga sugyot alang sa kalamboan pagadawaton isip nga dugang mga mga pulong ug kausaban niining maong libro kay anaay mosunod nga Series II, English-Bisaya version. Ipadala ang sugyot sa: [e-mail]. Salamat sa pagsuporta.
