Cuyonon is a language spoken on the coast of Palawan, and the Cuyo Islands in the Philippines.〔(Palawan Tourism Council ). Accessed August 28, 2008.〕 Cuyonon had been the lingua franca (language used for communication) of the province of Palawan until recently when migration flow from Southern Tagalog region rapidly increased. 43% of the total population of Palawan during the late ‘80s spoke and used Cuyonon as a language. But later studies show a significant decrease in the number of Cuyonon speakers brought by the increase of usage of Tagalog among Palawan residents who hailed from Luzon. The Cuyonon language is classified by the Summer Institute of Linguistics as belonging to the Central Philippine, Western Visayan, Cuyan subgroup. The biggest number of speakers lives in the Cuyo Group of Islands, which is located between Northern Palawan and Panay Island. ==Simple greetings== *Good morning - Mayad nga timprano *Good afternoon - Mayad nga ugtong adlaw *Good evening/night - Mayad nga gabi *How are you? - Kamosta kaw ren? *I'm fine/good and you? - Mayad da, ikaw? *I'm just fine, by the grace of God - Kaloy' Dios mayad da. *Thank you - Salamat *Where are you going? - Adin kaw pakon? *What are you doing? - Anono imong ingboboat? *Oh, Nothing in particular. - Ara ra. *Please come in. - Dayon kamo. *Long time no see. - Maboay kita reng ara agkita. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuyonon language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
