A workshop on the revision of the orthography of the Asì, Iní, and Onhán dialects was held April 21-23,2026 in Brgy. Lanas, San Jose, Romblon.
The workshop was attended by teacher writers from various towns and islands of the province representing the three dialects. This was done in collaboration with the Department of Education-Romblon led by Dr. Jordan D. Solatorio, IPEd focal person of the province, in collaboration with researchers from the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) Jose Evie Duclay, Rolien Mark Balisi, and Christian Nayles.
The municipal government of San Jose expressed full support for the initiative, recognizing its importance in preserving and promoting local tongues as part of the culture and identity of the community. This was seen as an important step in the development and standardization of indigenous languages in the province of Romblon.
Over the course of the three-day workshop, researchers guided participants in thoroughly identifying the native sounds of their respective dialects and developing orthographic rules suitable for systematic writing. The aim was to ensure clear, consistent, and contextualized guidance for the use of the Asì, Iní, and Onhán languages.
