Waray, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Kinaray-a,
Aklanon, Capiznon, Bantoanon, Rombloanon,
Cuyonon, Surigaonon, Butuanon, and Tausug ARE ALL BISAYA people and ALL are part of the BISAYA Language family.
The Biggest Confusion of most Cebuano speaking people in
Cebu, Mindanao, and Dumaguete is that almost all of them think that Cebuanos are the only Bisaya people, and almost all of them think that Bisaya is the Cebuano language which is totally False. This is like hijacking Bisaya term away from other Bisaya people like the
Hiligaynons, Karay-a, Aklanon, Waray, etc and depriving them of the Bisaya
identity.
