Hiligaynon and English are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.
Hiligaynon belongs to the Austronesian family while English belongs to the Indo-European family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Hiligaynon: Approximately 10 million people speak Hiligaynon as their first language. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
