[edit] Sri Vijaya
Be careful with Sri Vijaya. Everyone seems to think they had a big influence in the Philippines and thus giving birth to the "Visayans." Far from the truth. According to a very reputable Philippine historian I know, there is really little evidence of their presence in the pre-Hispanic Philippines. I think he referred me to William Henry Scott's Barangay which is an excellent read on pre-Hispanic Philippines. --Chris S. 05:48, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
- How about the Manila bay inscription (Laguna inscription) then? Meursault2004 10:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
- Same question too, :) --Noypi380 14:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

- It's legit, AFAIK. There was something similar with Baybayin on it that was proved to be a fake. Was that Code of Kalantiaw? Not sure, but the code of Kalantiaw thing is a fake too. --Chris S. 05:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

- It's a concidence. The Bisaya in Indonesia or Malaysia is not closely related to the Visayan languages of the Philippines. --Chris S. 12:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

- Just a question for the Visayan language speakers or perhaps other: does the phoneme /j/ occur in this language? Meursault2004 10:10, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
- Will answer at the Visayan languageDiscussion page.--
-
- There are more than 30 Visayan languages. In the Boholano dialect of Cebuano, the locals pronounce the letter "y" as /dʒ/. Tausug and Surigaonon also have /dʒ/. As an allophone, /diy/ is pronounce [dʒ]. --Chris S. 12:54, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

- The source of info about Sri Vijaya came from Gregorio F. Zaide in one of his History books.--Jondel 07:28, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
-
- Here's what a Philippine history professor had to say about Zaide: Zaide (1907-1986) was an extraordinarily prolific writer of history text books who flourished in the 1950s & 1960s particularly. Although he had good credentials as a scholar originally, many other historians came to feel that by the later stages of his career he was too busy churning out more textbooks to be either as up-to-date or as careful as he might have been. I never take a Zaide "fact" at face-value without cross-checking. --Chris S. 10:09, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Current population figure
Where did you get the figure of 1.8 million from? That seems higher than most sources seem to indicate.

- CIA factbook from the looks of it. --Dangerous-Boy 08:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

- The CIA world factbook doesn't have any information except possibly, an inferred maximum percentage. Arun 08:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

- well, then go fix it.--Dangerous-Boy 16:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
