    Pangasinan is one of the major languages of the Philippines spoken in Pangasinan province. However, linguistics experts believe Pangasinan may become extinct in 20 years as fewer people speak it at home due to difficulties learning the language as it has no relatives and diverse dialects [1]. Only half of Pangasinans still speak the language as parents encourage speaking Tagalog, Ilocano, and English instead. Efforts are underway to preserve Pangasinan through teaching the language in schools, strengthening cultural identity, and advocacy movements. [2] The future of Pangasinan depends on native speakers promoting its use and cultural importance. [3]

    PANGASINAN

    A DYING LANGUAGE
    PANGASINAN
    Pangasinan is one of the major
    languages of the Philippines. It is the
    language spoken in the province of
    Pangasinan, situated on the west-
    central seaboard of the island of
    Luzon along the Lingayen Gulf, the
    northern portion of Tarlac and
    southwestern La Union, most of
    whom belong to the Pangasinan
    ethnic group. Pangasinan is also
    understood in some municipalities in
    Benguet, Nueva Ecija, Nueva
    Vizcaya, and by the Aeta or Aeta of
    Zambales.

    2
    • The Pangasinan language belongs to the Malayo-
    Polynesian languages branch of the Austronesian
    languages family.
    • Pangasinan is classified under the Pangasinic group of
    languages (Karao, Iwaak, Kalanguya, Kallahan)

    3
    IS PANGASINAN A DYING LANGUAGE?
    Linguistics experts expect Pangasinan to be a
    dead language in 20 years.

    EVIDENCE
    “
    Commission on Higher
    Education (CHED)
    Chairman Dr. Prospero de
    Vera believe that the fast
    decline is the result of
    difficulties learning the
    language. He shared
    assertions made by Inquirer’s
    Gabriel Cardinoza based on
    a UP dissertation by Edgar
    Quiros.

    The
    following
    assertions
    are:

    10
    The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
    survey from 2000-2010 ranked
    Pangasinan as the 43rd language
    spoken at home in the country. Filipino
    and English were the dominant
    languages used among Pangasinan
    families (as cited by Macaranas).

    11
    The TV, cell phones and other modern
    means of communication are also
    undermining the Pangasinan language.
    TV programs received from Manila are of
    course mainly in Tagalog and rarely in
    English—never in Pangasinan language
    (as cited by Manila Times).

    12
    Only half of Panga-sinan’s population speak the
    Pangasinan language. The rest of the
    Pangasinenses speak Ilocano and Tagalog.
    Many parents also talk to their children in
    Tagalog or English. Parents encourage this
    practice for the sake of making their children
    ready for the imperatives of competitiveness
    and globalization (as cited by the Manila Times

    13
    The weakening of language is
    evident as it indicates that parents
    were unable to transfer it properly
    to their children. Thus, it tends to
    erase the “intergenerational
    transmission of linguistic and cultural
    knowledge (as cited by Delima).
    14
    SOLUTIONS
    Native speakers must take charge
    of roles they want Pangasinan to
    play in their lives.

    16
    Gov. Amado Espino III also
    stepped up efforts to further
    strengthen and encourage
    its use in schools, homes
    and workplaces.
    17
    More than 200 teachers from various
    towns of Pangasinan, tasked by DepEd
    to teach Pangasinan language to their
    pupils, are attending the training to
    further learn and study the proper
    usage of particular words in oral and
    written communications.
    18
    DepEd and KWF (Komisyon ng
    Wikang Filipino) collaborated in
    coming up with guidelines on the
    use of Pangasinan Orthography to
    become the standard in the
    pronunciation, spelling as well as in
    writing manuscripts in Pangasinan.
    19
    Save the Pangasinan Language
    Movement advocates for the
    language’s preservation and
    revival by rekindling the passions of
    the young to reinvigorate the
    language through poetry and
    literature.
    20
    The Pangasinan Historical and Cultural Commission with
    Villafania and Virginia Pasalo further strengthens cultural
    identity through publications, contests, and literary events
    with annual awards for literature and historical works, and
    recognition given to outstanding Pangasinenses in various
    endeavors.
