Maddulo` Kamu

Welcome to Ybanag 101.

I have been planning and looking for a way to come up with an Ybanag lessons website, where I can maintain the language as well as create lessons for those interested in the language. For starters, Ybanag is a Malayo-polynesian language from the Northeastern section of the Philippines. Speakers of Ybanag mostly live in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela. However there are many expatriate communities living abroad in the U.S., U.K., MiddleEast and other areas of the world.
The reason why i decided to make this, is to preserve the language for later generations to come and to bring back interest to my homeland's language. Perhaps by doing so, others will be motivated to preserve their own languages since many languages actually do become extinct every year.
