    Negros Occidental primarily uses Hiligaynon as its language, also known as Ilonggo, which is spoken by about 9.1 million people in Western Visayas and Soccsksargen. In the 1850s, Negros Occidental experienced an economic boom from sugarcane cultivation and foreign trade opening ports. It became its own province separate from Negros Oriental in 1890, and the Katipunan movement for independence from Spain succeeded in 1898, ending 300 years of Spanish rule.

    Language - Negros Occidental mostly uses the language Hiligaynon, also called Ilonggo.

    Hiligaynon, also
    often referred to as Ilonggo or Binisaya/Bisaya nga Hiniligaynon/Inilonggo, is an Austronesian regional
    language spoken in the Philippines by about 9.1 million people, predominantly in Western Visayas and
    Soccsksargen, most of whom belong to the Hiligaynon people. Towns and cities facing the Tanon Strait
    near Cebu speak Cebuano. English is understood by many, as is Tagalog.

    1850 - Negros Occidental experienced a major boom due to the cultivation of sugarcane and the
    opening of ports like those in Iloilo and Cebu to foreign commerce.

    1890 - Negros Occidental experienced two important events in its history: the making of Negros
    Occidental as a separate province in 1890 and the nationwide-Katipunan Movement in 1898,
    ending 300 years of foreign domination from Spain.
