Kasiguranin (Casiguranin) is a Tagalogic language from theCasiguran town ofAurora in the northern Philippines. It is descended from an earlyTagalog dialect (i.e. particularly Tayabas dialect ofQuezon) that had borrowed heavily fromNortheastern Luzon Agta languages (particularlyCasiguran Dumagat Agta andParanan Agta languages), and, to a lesser extent, fromIlocano (the dominant native language of north Aurora),Bikol languages,Kapampangan,Gaddang,Itawis,Ibanag, andParanan, which were spoken by settlers from other parts of the Philippines.[2]
Dilasag,Dinapigue,Maconacon, andDivilacan are primarilyIlocano-speaking towns just to the north of Casiguran.[3]Dinalungan,Dipaculao, andMaria Aurora are the other primarily Ilocano-speaking towns just south of Casiguran.
Kasiguranin speakers speak Ilocano & Tagalog as additional languages, as they are the dominant languages of Aurora.
