The buzz words are out! I am already making a noise regarding the publication of the Pinabli tan arum ni'ran Anlong although it's not on the press yet as I am trying to come out with funds for the printing cost. A German Professor at Emilio Aguinaldo College suggested that I should bring the matter to the president of our company but my priority at the moment is the UP Press. A new friend is making some effort to get the book into their attention. Maraming Salamat Po, Mr. Carlos M. Pizarro!
On the other hand, I just posted this awhile ago at DILA-philippines group wherein they are currently discussing about the topographical origin of some of the Philippine languages. On the Pangasinan language, I don't think or believe it is an offshoot of the Northeren languages. There's a theory that the Pangasenenses came from the Southeren Sulawesi (Celebes) from where they migrated to Kotabato, then to Kuyo island and then to what is now called Pangasinan. Others claimed that the Pangasinan people came from Flores, Indonesia as there is a dialect there similar to Pangasinan. The Kuyonen (language of Kuyo) although under the Tagala-Visayan group is similar to Pangasinan in Phonics. (Rev. Fidel of Amurrio, 1970)
The Ibinaloy language (Benget) I believe is an offshoot of Pangasinan and Ilocano languages. Probably this language evolved as the aftermath of the intermarriages between the two peoples, as this language is the most similar to Pangasinan. This is just my theory though.
