Hello to all.

We just received our NOA2 this week. My fiancee, Analyn, is from Biliran Island in the Visayas. Her native dialect is Warray, but she speaks most of the Bisayan dialects.

Just wanted to say hello, we just discovered this thread through HappyDancer!

Ingats!

What does "BISDAKS" mean? I ain't sure if I qualify to be a member of your group, I'm Ilocano. :star::star::star:

BISDAK means BISAYANG DAKO..

it means that if you grew up using the dialect (Visayan Dialect), your entire family uses the dialect and if you're from areas in Visayas and Mindanao using this dialect then you're a certified BISDAK.

Bisaya is a people & language. They could be found in Mindanao & Visayas mainly, and now spread all over the world. Bisaya language has variants and dialects. Boholoan-Bisaya, Waray-Bisaya, Ilonggo-Bisaya, Cebuano-Bisaya,etc

On line, You meet the Bisaya in Kalubihan http://kalubihan.ning.com
