Talk:Sambal language

Native words

Are there words used in (or originate from )Zambales not used in other Filipino dialects?--Jondel 00:26, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Manila, for one, is called Ibali (or Ibale).

Language name

I believe there's a problem with using Sambali, Zambal, or Sambal as the name of this particular language, as those names are shared by the Botolan language, as well. A similar situation exists with the use of the name Visayan, which technically refers not just to Cebuano but also to Hiligaynon, Waray, and many others. While I agree with the linguistic (and everyday) evidence that demonstrates the pejorative nature of the term Tina, there must be some way we could distinguish the Zambal spoken in Santa Cruz from the Zambal spoken in Botolan. Any suggestions? --Pare Mo (talk) 01:23, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Sambali language → Sambal language – WP:COMMONNAME. Majority of the reliable sources cited in the article refer to the language as Sambal or Tina Sambal. See also Sambal people, the speakers of the language, and Botolan Sambal and Bolinao Sambal. RioHondo (talk) 04:41, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
