Abstract: Cebuano is spoken in the central and southern Philippines. It is a member of the Austronesian family of languages, the group of languages spoken throughout most of Indonesia, northward into the Philippines and Taiwan and eastward through much of Papua New Guinea and over the Pacific as far Hawaii and Easter Island. The languages of the Philippines, with the exceptions of the Spanish creoles Chabacano and Chavacano, are closely related and typologically similar to one another. In particular, Cebuano is subgrouped with Tagalog and is similar to Tagalog.
