Cebuano (/ s ɛ ˈ b w ɑː n oʊ / se-BWAH-noh) [2] [3] [4] is an Austronesian language spoken in the southern Philippines by Cebuano people and other Ethnic groups as secondary language. .

The Cebuano language is spoken by more than twenty million people in the Philippines and is the most widely spoken of the Visayan languages.

Cebuano grammar encompasses the rules that define the Cebuano language, the most widely spoken of all the languages in the Visayan Group of languages, spoken in Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, part of Leyte island, part of Samar island, Negros Oriental, especially in Dumaguete, and the majority of cities and provinces of Mindanao.
Classical Cebuano underwent morphological changes throughout the Spanish period. One of the most notable was the change from *s(i)- to *k(i)- as the direct case-marking prefix for Cebuano demonstrative (e.g. siní -> kiní ) and interrogative (e.g. sinsa -> kinsa ) pronouns.
Further, the language makes semantic distinctions that are made in Spanish and English but not in Visayan (such as between moon and month). It is highly plausible that Eskayan vocabulary was created by taking parallel Spanish-English-Visayan wordlists from textbooks, and replacing the Visayan layer with new vocabulary.
