Yakan belongs to the Sama-Badjaw subgroup of the Malayo-Polynesian family of Austronesian languages and is spoken by people of the same name who live on Basilan Island as well as on some smaller surrounding islands. With over 5500 entries, over 600 subentries, 157 tables in the body, plus 33 appendices, this dictionary contains a wealth of data collected over a 30 year period. There is also an extensive English index. Although there is a separate 200-page grammar volume forthcoming, the introduction contains a phonological and morphological description.
