==Sri Vijaya== Kalinga kings of JAVA had ruled the island. There was no Tamil king in the land. 2601:147:4200:6240:DC6C:F117:87A:7DA9 (talk) 16:21, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Dillip Patnaik 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)

Code of Kalantiaw I think. TheCebu page mentions that Visaya came from Sri Vijaya. It should probably be corrected. But that's where I got my info. But it seems logical because there are regions in Malaysia near Palawan that are similarly called Bisaya.--Jondel 07:57, 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)

nice work

good job with the article, jondel. --Dangerous-Boy

Thanks! --Noypi380 23:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

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)
