Hello everyone! My name is April and I am from Hawaii. With this website, I hope to share information about Sambal. This dialect is spoken in the areas such as Masinloc and Candelaria in the province of Zambales, Philippines where my father's family is from. I started learning Sambal in 2010 from my father to practice learning how to document languages in college. I created a website with the Language Documentation Training Center (LDTC) featuring Sambal but have decided to create my own website with Weebly.

The Sambalic languages are part of the Central Luzon language family. The largest Sambalic languages are Tina, Bolinao, and Botolan, with approximately 70,000 (SIL 2000), 50,000 (Ethnologue 1990), and 32,867 (SIL 2000) speakers, respectively. The rest are smaller languages spoken almost exclusively within various Aeta communities. There are a total of around 168,067 speakers of Sambalic languages, spoken primarily in Zambales, Pangasinan, Olongapo, and Tarlac, but also in Bataan, Metro Manila, and Quezon, Palawan. The Sambalic languages are most closely related to Kapampangan and to an archaic form of Tagalog still spoken in Tanay in the province of Rizal. This has been interpreted to mean that Sambal-speakers originated from that area, later being displaced by migrating Tagalog-speakers, pushing the original inhabitants northward to what is now the province of Zambales, in turn, displacing the Aetas.
Tinà (Ethnologue: ISO 639-3: xsb) is a Sambalic language spoken by approximately 70,000 to 75,000 people,primarily in the Zambal municipalities of Santa Cruz, Candelaria, Masinloc, Palauig, and Iba, and in the Pangasinense municipality of Infanta in the Philippines; speakers can also be found in Quezon, Palawan.
Classification: Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Philippine, Central Luzon, Sambalic
