Cebuano

Cebuano (Sinugboanon/Sugboanon)

Cebuano is an Austronesian language spoken by about 18 million
people in the Philippines, particularly in Cebu, Negros, Bohol,
Visayas and parts of Mindanao. It is also spoken in the USA. The
language is also known as Sebuano or Sugbuhanon.

Cebuano started to appear in writing during the early part of
18th century under influence from Spanish missionaries. As a
result of Spanish influence, Cebuano contains many words of
Spanish origin.
