As a general rule QUESTION MARKER “BA” will precede a personal pronoun

Amerikano ba ko - Am I an American?

Amerikano ka ba - Are you an American?   (note the placement of ba)

Amerikano ba siya  - Is he an American?

Amerikano ba kita – Are we American?   (inclusive of who you are talking to)

Americaon ba kami – Are we American? (exclusive of who you are talking to)

Amerikano ba kamo – Are you all American?

Amerikano ba sila  - Are they American?

The “BA” precedes the personal pronouns except for “you”

Amerikano ba ka sounds very bad to Filipino ears.

Compared to English Cebuano has very few such exceptions.
