“…More recently Milke (1968) demonstrated the assignability of such forms to Proto-Oceanic (POC) *mpoRo 'pig' ; and slightly later the present writer found that cognates are also widespread in the west, extending from Formosa (PuyT verék 'domesticated pig') through the Philippines (Pn belék 'piglet, suckling pig', Tg biik 'suckling pig', Tbl bdrfi 'male pig') to Borneo (Kad vogok 'pig', Kel berek 'domesticated pig'). A cognate (wök) has since been recognized in Old Javanese (Prentice 1974). Based on the distribution of attested meanings it was suggested that Dempwolff's *babuy originally meant 'wild pig', and that forms belonging to the second set could be attributed to a PAN reconstruction *beRek 'domesticated pig'.…”

“…Laryngeal consonants have a long and troubled history in Austronesian (AN) languages (Brandstetter 1916:86, 248, 273, 282-85;Dempwolff 1934-38;Dyen 1953aDyen , 1962Dyen , 1965Tsuchida 1976;Zorc 1982Zorc , 1996Blust 2013:546-53, 567-74). Unlike other segments that have generated controversy in phonological reconstruction, such as *z (Dyen 1951), *R (Dyen 1953b), *b (Prentice 1974), or *d (Dahl 1976:58ff;Ross 1992:40ff), laryngeals in a small number of languages often correspond to zero in the majority of witnesses, raising questions about whether they have been added in a few languages, or lost in all others.…”

The reconstruction of Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) *h as a syllable onset continuing Proto-Austronesian (PAN) *S has depended heavily, though not exclusively, on Central Philippine languages, where it is well supported. In coda position, however, the reconstruction of *h has been more difficult. Word-final *h was initially proposed solely on the basis of phonological alternations in Tagalog, and only later shown to be reflected as a coda by Itbayaten of the Batanes Islands, and less securely by Aklanon in the Bisayas. New evidence for PMP *-h continuing PAN *S is introduced here from Central Luzon languages, Bisayan languages, and Mamanwa of Mindanao. In addition, revised material on Aklanon now shows that it, too, preserves coda /h/. However, not all examples of -h in Philippine languages can be traced to PAN *S. Rather, a surprising number of these segments correspond to zero in most previous reconstructions. More problematically, the cognate sets that contain -h involve multiple sound correspondences, raising difficult questions about their origin.

The Philippines is a country rich in languages, more than 100 distinct languages. Linguists note that there are large differences among the languages, and that they may be grouped into language families, include a northern group (including Ilokano, Pangasinan, and Kapampangan), and a central group (including Tagalog, Bikol, Hiligaynon, and Cebuano). The linguistic diversity of the Philippines arises from natural processes broadly relating to language change, the divergence between linguistic communities caused by lack of communication, and the converse convergence caused by a high rate of communication between communities. The people of the Philippines are experiencing a period of language convergence, marked by high levels of borrowing from large languages such as English, Tagalog, as well as from regionally important languages. In this process, for better or worse, some languages are abandoned altogether and become extinct.
