Davaoeño Cebuano dialect

For the language, see Davaoeño (language).

Davaoeño Cebuano (also referred to as Davaoeño Bisaya) is a dialect of Cebuano language mainly spoken in Davao.^[1][2] There appear to be two varieties of Cebuano dialect in Davao. The first is the dialect used by descendants of Visayan migrants, which is very similar to the provinces from which they originated. Over time, they become more like Cebu City or southeastern Cebuano. The second type of Cebuano in Davao is spoken by migrants, rich or poor, from non-Visayan provinces and products of intermarriages and their descendants. Their dialect is a mix of languages, mostly Cebuano, Tagalog, and Hiligaynon.^[3]
