The Bicol dialect of the Philippines
Bicol Dialect is the language of the Southern region of the Luzon Island in the Philippines. This part of Luzon island is called Bicol Region and the people are called Bicolanos (bicolano/bicolana=singular form). This language is further subdivided into different local dialects which can vary from one town/city to the next. There is a standard Bicol dialect that is spoken and understood by almost all Bicolanos. This Bicol dialect is spoken in the city of Naga and Legazpi (there may still be slight variations in the speech of these two cities).
