Orthography Issues
While the now-defunct Sanghiran San Binisaya ha Samar ug Leyte (Academy of the Visayan Language of Samar and Leyte) formulated and recommended a standard orthography, this was never widely disseminated, and therefore as of present there is still no commonly accepted official orthography. In effect, there may exist two spellings of the same word (usually limited to differences in vowels only), such as
- diri or dire ("no")
- hira or hier ("them")
- maupay or mabaysay ("good")
- guinhatag or ginhatag ("gave")
- direcho or diritso ("straight ")
- ciudad or syudad ("city")
- espejo or espeho ("mirror")
