: This study benchmarks translation systems for several Philippine languages, including Hiligaynon and Tagalog. It analyzes how a Transformer-based model performs on "low-resource" language pairs and identifies that Hiligaynon often performs better in these tasks due to its balance of commonality with other dialects.
Several research papers and academic studies provide a technical and linguistic foundation for translating to Tagalog . These resources are categorized below by their focus on machine translation systems, comparative grammar, and vocabulary analysis. Machine Translation Research Ilonggo To Tagalog Translation
: This study compares affixes and how they shift meanings across these languages. For example, it tracks how noun-forming affixes like the Tagalog -han correspond to ka-...-han in Hiligaynon. : This study benchmarks translation systems for several
Understanding the structural differences between the two languages is critical for accurate manual or automated translation: These resources are categorized below by their focus
: This paper explores the "topic marking" system common to both languages. It notes that while Tagalog utilizes five "voices" (differentiating beneficiary and locative), Hiligaynon uses four, combining them into a single "referential" voice.
: While its primary focus includes English, this paper details the linguistic resources (grammar rules and transfer dictionaries) necessary for translating Hiligaynon, which are applicable to cross-dialectal translation research.
