AKLANON LANGUAGE

'Aklanon' (also '''Akeanon''') is a language spoken in the Philippines. It is a one of two Visayan languages (the other being Malaynon) native to Aklan.
Aklanon is unique among Philippine languages since it possesses 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.
