CEBUANO LANGUAGE
Cebuano,referred to by most of its speakers as BINISAYA (or Visayan in English) , is an Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines by about 20 million people, mostly in the Central Visayas , most of whom belong to the Bisaya ethnic group.It is the most widely spoken of the languages within the so-named Bisayan subgroup and is closely related to other Filipino languages.
Cebuano is spoken in CEBU, BOHOL, Negros Oriental, western part of Leyte,some parts of Samar, Negros Occidental, Biliran islands, Southern region of Masbate Island and Mindanao. Some dialects of Cebuano have different names for the language. Ethnic groups from Bohol may refer to Cebuano as Bol-anon, while Cebuano speakers in Leyte identify their dialects as KANA (leyteno). Speakers in Mindanao and Luzon refer to the language simply as Binisaya or Bisaya, and such calling has been disagreed by its speakers for limiting the term to Cebuano only and not to the other Visayan languages, such as Waray-waray and Hiligaynon.
