Rinconada Bikol, spoken in Camarines Sur Province, Philippines, is one of several languages that compose the Inland Bikol
group of the Bikol languages. It belongs to the Austronesian language family that also include Māori, Hawaiian, Malagasy,
Tagalog, Indonesian and Malay. The closest relatives of this language outside Bicol are Aklanon, Waray and to a lesser extent
Tagalog. This is also the language adopted by the aboriginal or indigenous population of Agta/Aeta in the surrounding mountainous
areas. Rinconada was brought to Negritos by the Austronesian people when they engaged in commerce and trade with them. The
original language of the aboriginal people is unknown, but it is believed that it contributed to Rinconada's accent, vocabulary
and lexicon. Rinconada is considered by most Bicolanos to be one of the most difficult varieties of Bikol. The name of the
language is derived from the name of the place where it was originated, developed and is largely spoken: Rinconada District
(in Camarines Sur province) which was formerly called Sumagang. It is erroneously said to be from the Spanish word arrinconada
which means cornered. There is a place in Spain that bears the same name which can be suggested that Rinconada is truely a
Spanish word. It could have been the name that was given by the Spaniards to the then newly explored and colonized part of
Bicol. Same logic can be attributed from the La Rinconada of Chile which was also a colony of Spain. However, the origin of
the word Rinconada is still a matter of debate. |
