1 language is missing here because we could not confirm a form, not because the language lacks the word.
What the pattern shows
Udto across the Visayan languages and Bikol, with Kapampangan ugtu the same word. Tagalog tanghali stands alone, and Ilocano does not use a single word at all: tengnga ti aldaw is 'the middle of the day'.
Where they agree
- Udto — Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray, Bikol
Standing alone: English (Noon), Tagalog (Tanghali), Ilocano (Tengnga ti aldaw) and Kapampangan (Ugtu).
