Visayan is the umbrella term for a group of Philippine languages spoken across the central Philippines (the Visayan Islands) and parts of Mindanao, including Cebuano, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), and Waray. Around 30 million people speak some Visayan variety. When a US client requests "Visayan translation" our first question is which specific language — Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray, or another — because they are not mutually intelligible. See our separate pages for the major Visayan languages.
