ISO 639-3: 
bfx

Although in my dissertation (submitted by Steve Quakenbush for consideration) I mention (p. 75) Lungsuranun and Baryuhanun, these should not be considered as dialects for the purposes of the Ethnologue. These are simply variations that are common to most languages with prestige centers in town vs. more conservative speech in the outlying areas.

The dialects therefore should be the three mentioned corresponding to the three municipalities.

Editorial Action

We will confirm the dialect names for Bantayanon [bfx] in the Philippines, for inclusion in the next edition of the Ethnologue.

Dear Jarrette,

Thank you for this information on the dialect names for Bantayanon [bfx] in the Philippines.

We have already made this change in the Ethnologue database, based on a contribution from Sue McQuay (see https://www.ethnologue.com/contribution/703411).

Best regards,

Chuck Fennig
Managing Editor, Ethnologue
