Akeanon (also Aklanon) is a Visayan language spoken by about 400,000 people living in Aklan in the Philippines.[1] Ethnologue has classified the language to be 65-68% mutually intelligible and lexically similar to to Hiligaynon.[1] It 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.
