Boholano dialect
Variety of the Cebuano language / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boholano (Cebuano: Binol-anon) is a variant of the Cebuano language spoken in the island province of Bohol in the Visayas and a major portion of Southern Leyte, as well as parts of Mindanao, particularly in Northern Mindanao and Caraga. It is sometimes erroneously described as a separate language[1] even though Binol-anon originated as a dialect continuum of the Cebuano language.[2][3]
