'''Central Bicol''' or [[Coastal Bikol]] is the most-spoken language in the [[Bicol region]] of southern [[Luzon]], [[Philippines]]. It is spoken in the northern and western part of [[Camarines Sur]], second congressional district of [[Camarines Norte]], eastern part of [[Albay]], northeastern part of [[Sorsogon]], [[San Pascual, Masbate|San Pascual]] town in [[Masbate]], and southwestern part of [[Catanduanes]]. The standard form is based on the [[Canaman, Camarines Sur|Canaman]] dialect. However Bikol, is the least [[mutually intelligible]] regional language in the Philippines to [[Tagalog]].
==Bikol Dialects==
''Bikol-Naga'', a dialect of Coastal Bikol based in Canaman, Camarines Sur and the foundation of Standard Bikol, along with Bikol-Legazpi, based in Legazpi City, are plainly understood by most Bikol speakers. It is spoken in the first and second districts of [[Camarines Sur]] (except in [[Del Gallego, Camarines Sur|Del Gallego]], where residents are mostly [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] speakers) and in [[San Pascual, Masbate]].
''Bikol-Legazpi'' is spoken in the eastern coast of [[Albay]] and northern [[Sorsogon]].
Other common dialects include ''Bikol-Daet'', spoken in [[Daet, Camarines Norte|Daet]] and adjacent towns in [[Camarines Norte]], and ''[[Bikol-Partido]]'', spoken in the 4th District of Camarines Sur and in [[Virac, Catanduanes|Virac]], [[San Andres, Catanduanes|San Andres]] and southern part of [[Caramoran, Catanduanes|Caramoran]] in Catanduanes.

Like other [[languages of the Philippines|Philippine languages]], Bikol has a number of loanwords, largely [[Spanish language|Spanish]] as a result of 333 years of [[History of the Philippines (1565-1898)|Spanish rule]] in the Philippines. This includes ''suerte'' (luck), ''karne'' (''carne'', meat), ''imbestigador'' (''investigador'', investigator), ''litro'' (liter), ''pero'' (but), and ''krimen'' (''crimen'', crime). Another source of loanwords is [[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]], with words like ''hade'' (king) and [[karma]].
