Porohanon is a
regionalBisayan language spoken in the
Camotes Islands in the
province of
Cebu in the Philippines. Its closest relatives are
Hiligaynon,
Capiznon and
Masbateño; it is barely intelligible with
Cebuano though it shares 87% of its vocabulary with it.[2] It also retains many older features that Cebuano has lost, such as the use of the
genitive marker ahead of the second member of a compounded form, the distinction between a definite and indefinite subject marker, and the distinction between a definite genitive marker and a
locative one.[1]
