Boholano (Cebuano: Binol-anon) is a variant of the Cebuano language spoken in the island province of Bohol in the Visayas and a major portion of Southern Leyte, as well as parts of Mindanao, particularly in Northern Mindanao and Caraga. It is sometimes erroneously described as a separate language even though Binol-anon originated as a dialect continuum of the Cebuano language.
Boholano, especially as spoken in central Bohol, can be distinguished from other Cebuano variants by a few phonetic changes:
- The semivowel y is pronounced as is the ll sound (similar to Spanish Yeísmo): iya is pronounced ;
- Ako is pronounced as ;
- Intervocalic l is occasionally pronounced as when following u or o: kulang is pronounced as (the same as Cebu City dialect).
History
The Bohol dialect developed in the region after the Cebuano language arrived there from Cebu. The Cebuano language, descended from Proto-Austronesian (ca. 6000 years ago), originated in the Sugbo heartland and then "has spread from its base in Cebu" to Bohol, thus beginning the Bohol Cebuano dialect.
