Spelling Rules (Courtesy of Summer Institute of Linguistics) thru Mr. and Mrs. Paul & Kris Jensen
The following proposed spelling rules were developed by the Summer Institute of Linguistics. These are the conventions that SIL has followed thus far in its written Aklanon materials. The basis that was used for choosing these spelling
1. make an easy translation from the National language to Aklanon.
2. take into consideration Aklan’s historic and cultural background (particularly with reference to the Aklanon “e” sound).
3. take into consideration other studies of Aklanon and their proposed spelling rules (particularly the spelling rules proposed by Roman dela Cruz and the spelling rules proposed in the Study of the Aklanon Dialect by David Zorc, 1986)
4. provide a springboard for establishing a community consensus of what is the correct way to spell Aklanon works.
5. make it easy for the average person to spell Aklanon words.
SPELLING THE AKLANON FRICATIVE SOUND ‘EA”
1. The Aklanon sound, “ea”, is spelled with the letter “e”.
2. Do not use hyphen (-) or ( - ) when writing the Aklanon “e”.
Correct incorrect
Nageupad nag-eupad, nagēupad
USES OF THE HYPHEN (-)
1. The hyphen is not used between 2 bowels.
Correct incorrect
Siit, haom, kaeuoy si-it, ha-om, kaeu-oy
2. The hyphen is used between the two parts of a reduplicated word when the doubled word is two syllables in length.
Examples: pahuway-huway, , kabahoe-bahoe, balik-balik
3. But a hyphen is not used with words in which the reduplicated word is only one syllable in length.
Example: pangpang, kutkut, paypay, tuktuk
4. The hyphen is used when a consonant preceeds a vowel, but the vowel does not “go with” that consonant, or is not a part of the same syllable as the consonant. This hyphen represents the “sound” which the vocal chords make when there is a stoppage of air flowing through them. This is referred to as glottal stop.
Example: pan-uhan, nag-adto, tan-aw
5. A hyphen is not used to separate prefixes from the root word such as: naga, gina, maka.
correct ..... .....incorrect
nagaadto ..... naga-adto
6. But a hyphen must be used when the prefix being added ends in a consonant and comes before a vowel. In this case the hyphen represents the glottal stop.
correct .........incorrect
gin-usoy....... ginausoy
nag-alsa.......nagalsa
tig-aeani...... tigaeni
7. A hyphen is used to indicate the glottal stop after a vowel in words such as: bi-bi, ba-ba, paino-ino, but is not indicated on the final syllables of words.
correct ................ incorrect
bi-bi, ba-ba......... bibi, baba
8. a hyphen is not used to separate prefixes such as taga, mangin, manog, inog, nagpa, pinaka, tag, tig, pa, ika, pang from the root word.
correct .................incorrect
tagaKalibo ......... .taga-Kalibo
manogpanaw ...... manog-panaw
nagpaJalas .......... nagpa-Jalas
tagbaeay ............. tag-baeay
tigsililak ........... tig-sililak
ginapaobra ...........gina-paobra
pangap-at ............pang-ap-at
manginpari ..........mangin-pari
inogpanaw ...........inog-panaw
pinakamanamit ... pinaka-manamit
natagtangis ..........natag-tangis
tiglima ..................tig-lima
ikaap-at ...............ika-ap-at
9. the hyphen is used with numbers
Example: ika-4, ika-12
