Waray/Bisakol of Gubát

Beach is a major vacationers’ attraction in Sorsogon.
Language
information:
The name Bikol is misleading in the case of this group of language varieties. Technically speaking,
they constitute a member of the Warayan group of Philippine languages, are
thus most closely related to Waray-Waray (Samarenyo). Many consider Gubát Waray a “Bisakol” language, namely a transitional variety between Bikol and Visayan (Bisayan).
Gubat Waray is
used
in
the
province of Sorsogon, which lies in the Bicol Region of Luzon Island. Geographically
it is thus wedged between
the Bikol varieties to the north and the Waray varieties to the south.
