LANGAUAGES

There are two main local languages: Capiznon and Hiligaynon. Filipino and English are also used and understood as the business languages and are widely spoken as second languages respectively.

Capiznon is concentrated in the province of Capiz in the northeast of Panay. It is a member of the Visayan language family and the people using it are part of the wider Visayan ethnolinguistic group, who constitute the largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group. It is often confused with Hiligaynon or Ilonggo, but it has its own unique vocabulary and accent, as well as a handful of words unique to the language itself.
