BTW, He meant Filipino Language (the Tinagalog).
I've known this foreigner for quite a long time (I think 4+ years).
This foreigner been here for 8+ years pero not straight. Pabalik2 ra ky naa cya business didto then he has family here as well. Pinakataas na ang 6 months stay in a year.
Before (1st year sa foreigner dre Cebu) ingon cya nga
"I hate Filipino language" but in my thoughts I completely disagree. I just smiled & say "Okay".
Last 2 years ago he said again "I understand few Filipino(Tagalog) but I love Visayan language (
he meant the Binisaya)."
This time even if he could not speak Tagalog but can understand both Tinagalog and Binisaya.
************************
So I asked him why the first time he was here hated the Filipino Language.
These are his few answers: (
gikuha lng nko ang thoughts sa iya giingon and not the complete/exacts words)
* Its confusing. He literally said "maka-bugo".
Why? ky gigamit dw ang English words (he meant the salitang hiram sa Filipino) to confuse people especially in spelling and wrong diction.
He said:
Why use or borrowing the words from foreign countries and just ruining them nga sa Filipino alphabet
accepted nman unta ang tanan letters sa english alphabet. Ngano dw gipang-ilisan pa.
Ex:
+ Traysikel
+ Kompyuter
+ Treyning
+ Hayskul
+ Drayber
+ Kostomer
etc...
He said:
Why not using exact the same spelling?
Ok ra kuno kung mag-istoryahanay pero if kung mgfill-up na ug form or mangaply ug trabho dili mn ang "salitang hiram gamiton" nga kuno official/accepted nmn dw ni dre Philippines instead English spelling mn gihpon ibutang.
Ingon sd nya nga if masayop sa pronunciation or diction issue
ma tolerate ra ky pinoy lagi, but the
bad effect/result dili na kuno ma correct hangtod na modako (I assume bata iya gipasabot).
Mas maayo pa kuno ang Binisaya ky mostly mogamit gyud sa english word using the correct pronunciation.

What do you think mga istoryans, Sakto ba cya?
Kay pra nako if mo-disagree gihapon ko sa foreigner I think PRIDE nlng ang ako i-rason (kay mka insulto sd bya gmay
), but not the real fact nga tinuod sd baya
