Bicol

About Bicol

Bicol, also spelled Bikol, is a group of closely related languages spoken in the Bicol Region at the southeastern end of Luzon in the Philippines. Central Bikol, the speech of Naga and Legazpi, is the most widely used and understood form. Its speakers are also called Bicolanos, and almost all of them also speak Filipino and English.

Bicol is written in Latin letters and spelled much as it sounds, but words can differ from town to town. See also Filipino and Tagalog.
