How Kapampangan and Pangasinan differ

Kapampangan and Pangasinan sit on separate branches of Austronesian: Kapampangan in the Central Luzon group, Pangasinan in the Northern Luzon group. They are related in the way English and Russian are related — the same family, far enough apart that the relationship is a fact about history rather than something a speaker can use.

No. They are neighbours on the map and on different branches of the family, and neither is intelligible to the other. Both are also among the least well-resourced languages this tool handles, so machine translation between them is the weakest direction on the site.

Kapampangan is the outlier of the group: its question words (nanu, ninu, nokarin) and its word for name (lagyu) share no root with any of its neighbours, and its pronouns cliticise in ways Tagalog speakers find unparseable. Pangasinan attaches a counting suffix to its numerals — sakey, duara, talora — and keeps say as its main noun marker, neither of which has a counterpart elsewhere on this list.

Words that exist in both languages and mean different things

These are where confident readers get caught, and where the translator above is least reliable — a word it does not recognise is passed through unchanged, which can land in the other language as a real word with an unrelated meaning.

  • lima

    Kapampangan: Five.

    Pangasinan: A hand. The numeral five is limara.

Machine translation across Philippine languages fails in patterns rather than at random. We wrote up what those patterns are and why they happen, measured against Ilocano.

How accurate is it?

Neither Kapampangan nor Pangasinan is a well-resourced language, and there is very little direct training data between them. The engine translates through English internally, so every result here is two translations stacked on top of each other, and the errors of the first are carried into the second.

We ran all 247 translatable entries in this phrasebook through the translator above and compared each against the human-written Pangasinan. It matched or came close 54.3% of the time.

We measured the reverse direction too: Pangasinan → Kapampangan scored 52.2% against 54.3% here. The two are close enough that neither direction is clearly better.

Common questions

Is Kapampangan the same as Pangasinan?
Kapampangan and Pangasinan sit on separate branches of Austronesian: Kapampangan in the Central Luzon group, Pangasinan in the Northern Luzon group. They are related in the way English and Russian are related — the same family, far enough apart that the relationship is a fact about history rather than something a speaker can use.
Can a Kapampangan speaker understand Pangasinan?
No. They are neighbours on the map and on different branches of the family, and neither is intelligible to the other. Both are also among the least well-resourced languages this tool handles, so machine translation between them is the weakest direction on the site.
How accurate is Kapampangan to Pangasinan translation?
We measured it rather than guessing. Running all 247 translatable entries in our Kapampangan–Pangasinan phrasebook through this tool, the machine output matched or closely matched the human-written Pangasinan 54.3% of the time. It is weakest on market & money (14%) and strongest on things to buy (100%). Treat it as a helpful draft, not a finished translation.
Why did the translation come back exactly the same as what I typed?
Usually because the engine did not recognise the word and echoed your input rather than failing visibly. But check before assuming it is broken: 47 of the entries in our Kapampangan–Pangasinan phrase data are genuinely spelled the same in both languages, including Salamat (thank you), Anak (child), Asawa (spouse), Karne (meat). Unchanged output is not automatically wrong for this pair.
How many people speak Kapampangan?
Kapampangan is spoken mainly in Pampanga, Tarlac (south), Bataan (north). The 2020 census reports ethnicity rather than a separate speaker count for it, so we do not publish a speaker figure we cannot source. Central Luzon branch — not closely related to Tagalog despite the geographic overlap, which is why Kapampangan↔Tagalog machine output is weaker than the distance on a map suggests. Figures elsewhere claiming far larger totals for these languages are generally not supported by census data.
Can I translate Pangasinan to Kapampangan as well?
Yes — use the Pangasinan to Kapampangan page, or press the swap button above the text box. We measured both: Kapampangan → Pangasinan scored 54.3% and Pangasinan → Kapampangan scored 52.2%. The two are close enough that neither is clearly better.
Is it free, and are there limits?
It is free with no account required. A single translation is capped at 5,000 characters, and there is a rate limit to keep the service available for everyone. There is no limit on how many translations you can do overall.
