	Central Tagbanwa Reviews
		This is a sketch grammar of Tagbanwa, an Austronesian language spoken in the northwest of the island of Palawan in the western Philippines.
		Tagbanwa phonology is interesting in having received a far greater number of Spanish loans (italicized above) than Tagalog: the result has been a separate "phonology within the phonology" for this part of the lexis.
		Furthermore, mother-tongue Tagbanwa speakers have become very proficient in languages of wider communicative reach and power such as English, Tagalog, and Cuyunon, and they have been teaching these to their children for decades-leading to substantial language and culture shifts.

	Tagbanwa alphabet and language
		The Tagbanwa alphabet is one of a number of closely related scripts used in the Philippines until the 17th Century AD.
		It is thought to have descended from the Kawi script of Java, Bali and Sumatra, which in turn descended from the Pallava script, one of the southern Indian scripts derived from Brahmi.
		Tagbanwa is a syllabic alphabet in which each consonant has an inherent vowel /a/.

	Foundation For Endangered Languages Issue 25.
		This is a sketch grammar of Tagbanwa, an Austronesian language spoken in the north-west of the island of Palawan in the western Philippines.
		Now the few remaining Tagbanwa (under 1,000 in number) are of mixed parentage and highly bilingual, dominant in the local trade language Cuyunon (a Bisayan language with some 123,000 speakers) and Tagalog (the Philippine national language with 17 million).
		Tagbanwa phonology is interesting in having received a far greater number of Spanish loans (italicized above) than Tagalog: the result has been a separate "phonology within the phonology" for this part of the lexis.

		The Calamian Tagbanwa inhabit the beautiful limestone Coron Island, one of the Calamianes Islands of North Palawan, which is surrounded by water once rich in marine resources, the main source of their livelihood.
		Yet the Tagbanwa Foundation was not satisfied with only a 25-year lease It went on to use a new law -- known as Administrative Order Number 2 of 1993 -- to pursue a land and domain claim to the island and surrounding waters.
		Following the example of the Tagbanwa, other indigenous communities within the Philippines are now looking at titles of ancestral domain over land and water as a tool to secure their permanent rights to land and marine resources.

		Dubbed "Tagbanwa Tours, Coron Island," it was developed through the initiative of the Department of Tourism's (DoT) Sustainable Environmental Management Project for Northern Palawan (SEMP-NP), in partnership with the Tagbanwa Foundation of Coron Island, Conservation International, and local tourism stakeholders.
		The Tagbanwa have a very complex way of life that revolves around the luyang (caves), awuyuk (lakes), and talu (corals), the sea, and the forest.
		Funny, but while our Tagbanwa guides were curious about our life in the city, we were both humbled and filled with wonder at how they have preserved their simple way of life.

		This is the home of the Tagbanwa, an unreached tribal group.
		The reason this small island is targeted for evangelism is that it is made up of 95% Tagbanwa.
		There are other Tagbanwa on surrounding islands so it is centrally located for evangelism.

	[No title]
		For those familiar with the Philippines, the granting of a CADC to the Tagbanwa of Coron does probably not appear to be an extraordinary achievement since CADCs have been granted elsewhere before and after that.
		When the DENR finally contacted the Tagbanwa communities on the planned declaration of the island as protected area, the Tagbanwa made their position very clear: they agreed to co-operate in the conservation of the island, but only if it is recognised as their ancestral domain.
		Although decision making power is now largely devolved to the Tagbanwa communities, conservation agencies and the DENR, by assuming that role, still have the possibility to pursue their interests and contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and natural resources on Coron.

		I hadn't looked for Calamian (or however you spell it!)under 'tagbanwa' before (duh)...
		I didn't realise that it was so close to tagbanwa, obviously I still have a lot to learn about my new family!!
		I love learning new ways of representing language so it is very interesting to note that there is still a traditional script in use for Tagbanwa which should be able to be used for the Calamian dialect too.

	What is a Pruiba
		The Tagbanwa people in the Philippines have a word for ‘proving God faithful.” It is called, ‘pruiba.’ They have many stories about God’s faithfulness-how He comes through for them when they entrust things to Him.
		Even though we brought the Tagbanwa people the message of God’s faithfulness years ago, we are continually amazed at God’s grace to those who entrust everything to Him.
		The truths shared in this letter, written by my mother, are not just for remote groups of people and the people who choose to go there.
