Before I begin. To those of you who have sent me e-mails concerning ordering my book, this is just to let you know that I am in receipt of them. I intend on giving pricing and shipping information sometime after I receive the books within the next couple of weeks.
In the mean time, I have a new diversion. It's Fe Z. Aldave-Yap's A Comparative Study of Philippine Lexicons. It was published in 1977. It's a comprehensive book and it was just as I was looking for. I do own a copy of Dr. Lawrence Reid's Philippine Minor Languages: Word Lists and Phonologies, but it covers "only" 43 languages spoken mostly in Northern Luzon and Mindanao. Aldave-Yap's work expanded upon Dr. Reid's to a total of 80 languages spoken in the Philippines.
The similarities and differences vary depending on the word. For example, dila and its variants (i.e., zila, rira, jila, chila, hila, etc.) are common in about 77 of the languages listed. The other 3 use lengua (in the Zamboanga & Cavite variants of Chabacano) and limut of Kakidugen Ilongot.
For an example of the vast differences, here's the word for "face" in those languages which I posted to a mailing list today. The names and transcription methods used have been altered somewhat.

naniniwala ako na may iilang matandang salita/wika na umiral sa ating kapuluan nuong unang panahon. Kung papansinin mo ang laguna copperplate inscriptions 822 A.D..Ang mga salita duon ay ay parang sanskrit na may sinaunang tagalog! Pansinin ang salitang "baru" na siyang bago sa kasalukuyan, ay nananatili sa ilokano.Ang somawara na sumawala ay sinasabing gamit nuong taong 1940's sa Quezon city.Ang dengan dang kaya siha ay siya naman ngayong dangan at may kaya siya, ay pawang mga salita na umiinog lang sa mga limot na salita sa ating bansa.Pansinin mo anmg bisaya na may salitang sabut(magsalita) ay may anyo naman ng sabat sa dating tagalog na may iba namang gamit ngunit may kaugnayang kahulugan.ibig sabihin kapag napag aralan mo ang lahat ng wikain o pangunahing wikain sa ating kapuluan, ang lahat nang ito ay dati nang umiral sa iilan o iisang anyo ng matandang uri ng wika gaya nang sinaunang wika na ginamit sa Laguna Copperplate inscriptions 822 A.D.!
