TAGALOG-BISAYA SAME WORD BUT DIFFERENT IN MEANING | USAPANG BISDAK by Gini PB

Описание: The Cebuano people (Cebuano: Mga Sugbuanon) are the largest subgroup of the larger ethnolingustic group Bisaya, who constitute the largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group in the country. Their primary language is the Cebuano language, an Austronesian language. They originated in the province of Cebu in the region of Central Visayas, but then later spread out to other places in the Philippines, such as Siquijor, Bohol, Negros Oriental, southwestern Leyte, western Samar, Masbate, and large parts of Mindanao. It may also refer to the ethnic group who speak the same language as their native tongue in different parts of the archipelago.

The earliest European record of Cebuanos was by Antonio Pigafetta of the Magellan expedition. He provided some descriptions of their customs as well as samples of the Cebuano language.Ferdinand Magellan was killed in Cebu during the Battle of Mactan against the forces of Lapu-Lapu.

Later early Spanish colonists referred to the Cebuanos (and other Visayans) as the pintados ("the painted ones"), due to their widespread practice of tattooing to record battle exploits.

The Cebuano language is spoken by more than twenty million people in the Philippines and is the most widely spoken of the Visayan languages. Most speakers of Cebuano are found in Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Biliran, Western and Southern Leyte, eastern Negros and most of northern, southeastern and western Mindanao. Because of the standardization and adoption of Tagalog as both an official and 'national' language (Pilipino) and the lack of formal teaching of Cebuano in schools and universities, many in "Imperial Manila" remain ignorant of the cultural significance and historic lingua franca of the Central Visayas and most of Mindanao.
