Hiligaynon support?

A lot of my friends are from that part of the Philippines, so I've been learning the language
- but having only one small dictionary, progress is slow.

A lot of Spanish words entered the language during the 300 years of Spanish occupation
(governed from Mexico).  It's pretty clear which words are native, which are from Spanish, and
which are from English, so the language tells the history of the region.

Basic words about the weather, plants, animals, body parts, emotions are usually of native
origin.  Words about religion, politics, cutlery, and some items of clothing are from Spanish.
Words about very modern things like computers and the Internet are from English.  So you can
see during which period in the society's history they acquired each technology/concept.
