H13 Language/Dialect Generally Spoken

Language/dialect generally spoken at home provides a measure of the linguistic homogeneity or difference in the population. It can also be used to measure the extent of actual use of the language/dialect within a household.

Ask the question in H13, "What is the language/dialect generally spoken at home by members of this household?"

The languages/dialects and their corresponding codes are printed in the frame. If it is not among the pre-coded answers, write the language/dialect on the space provided.

If two or more languages/dialects are spoken in the household, enter the code for the language/dialect which is commonly spoken by majority of the household members.
Note that "Visaya" is not a dialect. Inquire if it is Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), Cebuano, Waray, etc.,
