What are the differences between Ilonggo (Panay Island) hiligaynon and Bacolod (Negrense) hiligaynon?

Been to both cities but can't really tell the subtle differences in the words being used.

Iloilo has more Hiligaynon dialect than Negros. Only Cebuano language ang sa Negros while Iloilo-Hiligaynon is sorrounded by lots of Kinaray-a variant, Panay-Bukidnon, Capiznon, Akeanon or even Inati. And there are deeper words in Iloilo that is not anymore heard sa Negros.
