		Romblomanon has 110,870 speakers and is the native language throughout Romblon and Sibuyan Islands, as well as in San Agustin town on Tablas Island.
		The Romblomanon, Asi and Onhan languages are all very much still in use throughout the province of Romblon in most everyday situations, while Tagalog is taught in schools and commonly used in communication between people who otherwise wouldn't understand each other's native language.
		Romblomanon appears to be one of a series of hybrid languages along the northern Bisayan border that includes Marinduque Tagalog, Romblomanon, Bantayan Bisaya, Masbatenyo and Central Sorsoganon (as spoken in and around Sorsogon City).

		A Visayan who cannot speak a Visayan language, even if he or she was born and grew up in the Visayas- Mindanao area, where there have been Visayans for more than a thousand years, is not Visayan.
		Many of these languages do not even have a written literature, and are not used in government and schools in their own territories.
		Many such native languages in North America, as well as Hawaii, are now being taught in the schools, and as a result their native speakers are fast increasing in numbers.

	Salita Blog: My ideal language policy
		All of the languages indigenous to the area belong to the Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family.
		By preserving the languages and calling for their use in all areas of societies (the Catalans call it "normalization"), we linguists are out to get a profit by translating and making money off of making books and dictionaries about these languages.
		I love studying languages (but, as I said earlier, I'm not necessarily good at acquiring them), especially Philippine languages and one day hope to be able to comprehend/speak a good number of 'em.

		The 1971 Constitutional Convention adopted the proposal, popularly known as the "universal approach", submitted by the UP Department of Filipino and Philippine Literature and the Department of Linguistics, both of which I was the chairman from 1969 to 1972, for the development of Filipino as the national language of the Philippines in place of Pilipino.
		Subsequently, the 1986 Constitutional Commission adopted Filipino as the national language of the country even though as early as 1970 the UP had already adopted and started using this language as the national language.
		Thus the Filipino national language is the distinct contribution of the UP whose linguists were singularly consulted by the 1986 Constitutional Commission for the adoption of this language by the 1987 Constitution as the national language of the Philippines.
