Relating to or characteristic of the Bisaya people, language, or culture of the Philippines.
From Bisaya, an ethnic group in the Philippines; the term entered English through colonial and anthropological documentation of Philippine cultures and languages.
The Bisayan languages are spoken by over 20 million people across the Philippines, yet most English speakers have never heard of them—a reminder of how 'world languages' really just means 'colonial languages'!
