Akeanon phrasebook

Akeanon (also Aklanon) is a language spoken in the Philippines, especially in in Aklan province in the North west of the island of Panay. Recently given a degree of autonomy, thanks to international tourism to Boracay, this middle income province is now one of the nicest regions with good roads (complete with traffic signs and road markings!) and a developing infrastructure. Aklanon is unique among Philippine languages since it posseses the digraph ea ("l" pronounced with rolling "r" sound). According to legend, the digraph originated from the first ruler of Aklan, Datu Bangkaya, who had a short tongue and therefore could not pronounce the "l" sound.
