Introduction:

As studied by Beatriz S. Urbano in her book titled “Romancing the

kapampangan language” in 2013, She said, “Kapampangan is the language of
the people in Pampanga and Pampango is the people who lived in it”. Some
author says, “Kapampangan language is death as a LATIN!” There are almost
two million people who speak Kapampangan language in the year 2013, but
every year it is decreasing. We can considered Angeles city as a urbanized
center, so it is filled of younger generation who are affected by other cultures
and other languages. Our plan is to make Kapampangan language alive in our
modern society. If we pretend that we are blind and ignore what is happening
to our language, we will lose our Kapampangan language immediately.
Parents need to train their own child on how to speak Kapampangan. Because
they have the responsibility to teach their children our own language. Because
we all know that the provision of mother tongue is not always possible. So as a
parent they should encourage their child to speak Kapampangan language.

According to Beatriz S. Urbano in her book who titled “Romancing the

kapampangan language” in 2013, She said, “I do not want to sound like an
alarmist, but if we do not make a decisive move right now, Our grandchildren
might wake up one morning to find out that kapampangan is death as LATIN!
Among the youth today, who are natives of Pampanga, Tagalog is the medium
of communication. Even they are both Pampango’s you often come across two
young people speaking in Tagalog, rather than their the language of their
parents” (2013)

As studied by Jose M. Navarro in his book “Ing Susi” in (2014), He said,

“As expected, Kapampangan is spoken generally in Angeles City. The rest are
non-Kapampangan speaking.” Household readily understand the dialect. A
sizeable 95.17% of it’s total population has Kapampangan as their mother

tongue. It’s Kapampangan speaking population is gradual. Accommodated the
increasing share the segments of the population speaking other dialects on
account of municipal increase constantly subjected to migration. (2014)

According to Joel S. Regala in his book who titled “Kasaysayang Lokal

Angeles City” in 2015. He said “Majority of the people in Angeles City classified
themselves as Kapampangan 74.65%, About 16.37% as Tagalog, 1.79% as
Bisaya/Binisaya, and 1.38% as Ilocano. The remaining 5.03% were Bicol,
Waray, Cebuano, Pangasinan/Panggalato, or other ethnic groups. (2015)

According to Peter Agalos in his book who titled “Comusta Na Ing Balen” in
2013. He said that “Part of the rich heritage that Pampanga, that sprawling
province at the heart of Central Luzon, can boast of is a well-developed
literature. This is not a surprise, considering that Kapampangan ranks seventh
among eight major languages of the Philippines, and that a million people
speak the language. What is surprising is the fact that the Kapampangan
literature, rich as it is, has been neglected by scholars of Philippine Literature.”

RRL 5

As studied by Michael Raymon in his book who titled “Kapampangan

Lexical Borrowing from Tagalog” in 2014. Endangerment rather than
Enrichment”, He said that “Kapampangan parents began talking to their
mother tongue. The Kapampangan language, Tagalog, rather than in their
mother tongue. The kapampangan language therefore is already showing
signs of being moribund since the younger generation are no longer being
taught to speak it. As for the population that continue to speak it, their version
of Kapampangan evidently shows signs of lexical attrition whereby a number
or significant indigenous vocabulary is slowly being replaced by words
borrowed from the dominant language, Tagalog”

According to Pascale Chauvot in her book who titled “Endangered

Languages: Why are so many languages becoming extinct” (2016) she said
that “One of the potent ways of understanding the culture and history of a
country or region is through its language. In today’s globalized world, language
usage is changing rapidly. English is the dominant language of the world. More
people now have a working knowledge of English as a second or third
language than the number of people who consider English their mother
tongue.”

RRL 2

As studied by Jennifer Foltz in her book “How Languages Die” she said
that “Languages die for many reasons. Some are cultural. Many cultures have
been colonized or otherwise dominated by another culture. Often, this
translated into suppressing the native culture’s mother tongue. If this
conditions lasted long enough, then this languages dwindled, were only
spoken in secret or died out altogether.”

As cited by Max Leighton in his book “The Loss of Language” he said that,

According to Sara Soliven De Guzman in her book who titled “as a matter
of fact” (2019). She said, “Ten years ago, articles have already been written
about the alarming issues on Kapampangan and Pangasinan as dying
languages. Experts say that soon these languages will become extinct.” The
Philippines has more than a hundred languages. There are 8 Major languages
on of them is Kapampangan. A language dies when it is only used for oral
expression and not as written language.

As studied by Michael Pangilinan in his book who titled “The creation of

the Filipino Nation and the Decline of the Kapampangan Language” (2013). He
said, “The Spaniards took advantage of these differences and pitted one
nation against the other.” For instance, .the Kapampangan people who were
highly favoured by the Spaniards, made up the bulk of the Spanish colonial
armed forces and were used to quell various ethnic uprising all over the
archipelago. It was later spelled Filipino under Article XIV of the 1987
Constitution. This naming game was a clever doubles speak tactic aimed at
distracting possible opposition to the use of Tagalog as the national language.

RRS 3

According to Ramon A. Castro in his book who titled “Kapampangan: A

dying language will you allow it?” (2019). “Many years ago, articles have been
written and published about the alarming issue on the Kapampangan as a
dying language. Linguists, experts in languages, say that sooner or later this
language will become extinct in the Philippines if no drastic and tangible
measures are implemented to prevent this from occurring.”

According to Dr. Sarah Grey Thompson in her book “The every loss of
Language” 2013, She said,”Preservation of languages like Kapampangan
must be towards unity and oneness. It is important that we develop and protect
regional culture but that must be seen on the concept that we are one nation.
