Authoritative Yakan source

Primary reference: SIL Yakan-English Dictionary β€” Behrens, Dietlinde. 2002. Yakan-English Dictionary. Manila: Linguistic Society of the Philippines (610 pp.).

This dictionary is a copyrighted academic publication with ~5,500+ entries. Sagira does not bulk-copy it into the app. Verified Yakan entries here are created only with the legal right to store them (native-reviewer authored entries or attributed quotations). All other lookups link you to the authoritative SIL online resource.

Honesty & privacy

  • β€’ Native speakers are the authoritative source. iYakan never invents Yakan vocabulary β€” when no verified translation exists, we say so and mark AI suggestions clearly as "Please Verify".
  • β€’ Conversation history stays on this phone and is never sent to Sagira unless you tap "Help improve".
  • β€’ Voice input uses your device's built-in speech recognition. Yakan voice recognition is not available β€” type Yakan instead.
  • β€’ AI pronunciation uses the device text-to-speech and is labeled as such; it is not a native Yakan recording.
  • β€’ Community corrections go to a review queue and are never published automatically.
