Other comments: Higaonon has a decimal system. Please note the following code for

phonetic script and other phonetic transcriptionsː

1. [ə] = mid open central unrounded vocoid.

2. [e] = mid close central / back unrounded vocoid.  In North Central Misamis
   Higaonon, “e” is essentially unrounded “o,” not schwa.

3. Stops in word initial position are often more forceful than English, but not aspirated.

4. The phones [t], [d], [l], [n] are more or less dental, but not alveolar.

5. Word-final stops are unreleased when words are spoken in isolation.

7. The back rounded phone [u] is often freely variable with [o],  though not here
    shown. These back rounded phonemes are distinguished from the unrounded
     phoneme [e], above.

8. A vowel followed by ‘.’ (a period) is lengthened.

Higaonon is spoken by approximately 30,000 speakers in the Butuan River basin of north-central Mindanao, comprising northwestern Agusan del Sur Province and the area of Agusan del Norte Province south of Butuan City.
