The Baybay language, also known as Baybayanon, Utudnon or Leyte, is a distinct language that was spoken on the island of Leyte in the Philippines before the arrival of Waray and Cebuano. It is still spoken around the town of Baybay.
Classification
Baybayanon was originally a Warayan language that has been relexified and overlaid by a Cebuano (Leyteño) superstratum (Rubino 2005). The Warayan substratum is characterized by Baybayanon's more Waray-like deictics, and various other features.[3]
Locations
Utudnon is spoken by about 10,000 people[4] in 5 barangays of central Leyte, namely Utúd (also called Utod or Guadalupe), Gábas, Kilím, Pátag, and Pangasúgan.[3]
