Definition
- Riŋkonāda or Rinconada Bikol is one of the several languages that compose the Inland Bikol group of the Bikol languages. It belongs to Austronesian language family that also include Māori, Hawaiian, Malagasy, Tagalog, Indonesian and Malay. The closest relatives of this language outside Bicol are Aklanon, Waray and Tagalog to the lesser extent. This is also the language adopted and used by the aboriginal or indigenous population of Agta/Aeta (Negrito) in surrounding and mountainous areas. Riŋkonāda was brought to Negritos by the Austronesian people when they began engaging in commerce and trade with them. The original language of the aboriginal people is unknown but it is believed that they have contributed some of their tribal languages to Riŋkonāda's accent, vocabularies and lexicon. Riŋkonāda is considered by most Bicolanos as one of the most difficult variety of Bikol. The name of the language is derived from the name of the place where it was originated, developed and is largely spoken: Rinconada District (in Camarines Sur province) which is formerly called as "Sumagang".
