Excerpt from The Batan Dialect as a Member of the Philippine Group of Languages, Vol. 1 In the following study it is intended to compare a certain Philippine dialect with a number of its sister tongues in order to gain thereby an insight into the nature of those features which are common to them and of those which give to the former its dialectic peculiarity.

There are so and so many of them; that means, they are dissimilar. In what consists the similarity and in what the dissimilarity? What is the essence Of Filipino speech and what that of dialectic independence? Thanks to the assiduous work Of Spanish friars we possess ample material for the study of those dialects that are spoken by the great civilized majority of Filipinos who to the round number of inhabit chiefly the coasts and plains of the different islands. That material consists in a series of grammars, vocabularies, and religious text-books, begun hundreds Of years ago - in fact immediately after the conquest - continued by succeeding generations Of friars, and even now added to, with regard to new converts, as, for instance, by the Jesuits in the mountains of Mindanao.
