What the pattern shows
Sungay holds in Tagalog and most of the Visayas, then falls apart: Ilocano sara, Waray budyong, Kapampangan sagu, Pangasinan saklor. Waray breaking from Cebuano and Hiligaynon here is its habit rather than an exception.
Where they agree
- sungay — Tagalog, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Bikol
Standing alone: English (Horn), Ilocano (sara), Waray (budyong), Kapampangan (sagu) and Pangasinan (saklor).
