Learning to speak like I'm from Boholan.

O.K. Lang. The dialect I've chosen to attempt for this project is Boholano. Boholano is a subset of a language that is variably called Binisaya, Visayan, and Cebuano. The differences between Boholano and Cebuano are fairly minimal, such as pronouncing /nj/ as [nj] or as [nʤ], but to minimize complications, I used material written by a native Boholano recorded by a native Boholano. I don't want to go to all the trouble of mastering the accent just for my cousins to say I sound like I'm from Cebu.

Finally got my archetype delivered and converted to something I could upload. I was having some trouble with that. It's actually just audio, but that's fine with me.

Below are the lyrics that my helpful cousin recorded for me.
Ako kang Paabuton (Buhi sa Kanunay)
Music and lyrics by Justino 'Ning' Romea

I
Buhi sa kanunay
Ug di ko hikalimtan
Sa hilom gibati ko
Ang kamingaw ning dughan

II
Bisag giyam-iran, bisan pa’g gitamay
Molambo ug molipang kay
Ang gugmang matuod di mamatay

Refrain:
Tuhoi intawn ako
Salig sa gisaad ko
Gugma kining way pagkalaya
Bisa’g ibanlas sa luha

III
Kon ang kasing-kasing ko
Sa palad sakiton
Didto sa kalangitan
Ako kang paabuton
(Repeat Refrain and III)
This is a love song about a lost love.
