Kapampangan, also known as Pampango, is spoken by approximately two million people. It is primarily spoken in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines, particularly in Pampanga and parts of Bataan, along with neighboring areas. Smaller Kapampangan-speaking communities can also be found in Metro Manila and abroad due to migration.
Traditionally, Kapampangan was written using the Kulitan script. However, with the arrival of Spanish colonization, the use of Kulitan gradually diminished, and the Roman alphabet became the primary writing system for Kapampangan. Today, while Kapampangan is widely written using the Roman alphabet, cultural advocates are working to revive and promote the use of Kulitan as a significant part of Kapampangan heritage.
The adoption of the Roman alphabet has facilitated the use of Kapampangan in modern education, media, and literature. This standardization has enabled the production of books, newspapers, and digital content in Kapampangan. Additionally, efforts to revive Kulitan through workshops, publications, and digital resources form part of broader cultural preservation initiatives in the Philippines.
Kapampangan grammar primarily follows a verb-subject-object (VSO) word order, which is common in Philippine languages. However, subject-verb-object (SVO) order is frequently used in informal speech.
The Kapampangan vocabulary has been influenced by a variety of languages and cultures, including Spanish, Malay, Chinese, Sanskrit, Arabic, and English. This linguistic borrowing reflects the region's rich history and cultural interactions over time.
