Akeanon (also Aklanon) is a language spoken in
the Philippines.
Aklanon is unique among Philippine languages since it posseses
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.
