As someone who is from Sarangani, I use balla as a lighter insult than words like bagtit, daldog and of course ukininam so how would you react from your community if someone called you balla or this phrase "ukis, nabalballakan? umayka man ditoy Labayun takag notebook ron" (Cebuano is also widely spoken hehe).
It means Ill throw this notebook at you now if you dont come here (basically cuz they do stupid shite from time to time hahaha)
Manong, manang nya ti fistfight ti Ilokano?
I'm part of the Ilocano diaspora from Mindanao western Sarangani province, maybe other Filipinos may find this useful when comparing differences from their own language, sociolect or dialect.

This is a 3rd post of my previous posts because its been taken down because I didnt explain ti the best of my abilities (I Hope This Will Suffice);
We are a group of conlangers who create conlangs related to Austronesian. Whether it is a conlang that hypothetically is far from the actual reaches of the Austronesians is totally up to the conlanger.
We operate outside this Subreddit.
We have an official Subreddit called
r/Austronesian_Conlangs and a Discord Server called Austronesia (I'll send a link to whoever would like to DM me directly).
We also have a GC on Reddit (I'll DM an Invite to whoever would like to Join us).
Our Rules for Collaboration are the following;
Give Respect to the other conlangers.
The conlang must originate or be connected to the Austronesians in any way.
Bonuses:
Conlangers who'd like to join the community are given a channel on Discord in which you present and update your conlang evolving it further.
-Questions shall be answered in the comments.
-This is a collaborative project.
-Languages are added to the Map
This collaborative effort supports both premade Austronesian Languages as in those who join who already have an Austronesian conlangs, or Austronesian conlangs made from scratch.
The Collaborative Project will be held outside this Subreddit.
Thank You for reading.
I've already made a post about but because of my laziness, I failed to explain my group's plans on recruiting other conlangers to join us, that was my mistake so I apologize to those who've seen it.
I made a group chat here on reddit that works together independently from each other and create conlangs based on Austronesia and languages of Austronesia. Whether or not you want to base it off an Austronesian language or make your own language is totally up to you, but as long as it is within Austronesia or a theoretical group of Austronesians who went to place A or B.
An Example would better explain this:
A group of Austronesians who sailed from Sulawesi now migrate to the Auckland Islands had settled for hundereds of years. Their culture had began to drift from the other brother islanders becoming their own unique culture. Their closest relatives had sailed west to the Kerguelen Islands and began a closely related culture as well.
To those who'd like to join us feel free to either comment or DM me. You can also feel free to comment or DM any question related to the post. Thank you for listening.
Hello fellow conlangs, I come to tell you that we are finding conlangers who are willing to join us in making a conlangs based in Austronesia. If anyone would like to join feel free to comment or DM me for more Info, thank you.

Im a Conlanger, a person who creates a language. Im trying ti incorporate different languages and evolving it to fit my language. To those of you who know any language. Tell me, what are your kinship terms. Thanks ♥️
Context: Im a conlanger who is passionate about my love for my Ethnicity, ive incorporated many aspects and used it as a base for the conlang. I met someone on Reddit who was interested in it too and i was both shocked and ecstatic. Especially considering Ilokano has a measly 15 M speakers worldwide so finding someone who knows it makes me happy. Especially considering there are better cultures with better history than my own.
Im a conlanger and Filipino who is interested to incorporate your Prefixes to my Constructed Language, if those of you are so kind as to tell the ones you know, that would greatly help me in my journey to incorporate the Philippine languages to my conlang. Thank You and God Bless ♥️
Im a Filipino who knows a few Philippine Languages and ive heard that Malayan Languages and Philippine languages are from the Austronesian Language Family. Many videos, discussion, and other events have been conducted throughout the years, today I'd like to see this for myself, if anyone is willing to do this experiment with me you can DM me and we can try understanding each other. If you dont want to do that commenting is fine as well. Thanks for reading
