Boholano (Cebuano: Binol-anon) is a variant of the Cebuano language spoken in the island province of Bohol in the Visayas and a major portion of Southern Leyte, as well as parts of Mindanao, particularly in Northern Mindanao and Caraga.
[2][3] Boholano, especially as spoken in central Bohol, can be distinguished from other Cebuano variants by a few phonetic changes: The Bohol dialect developed in the region after the Cebuano language arrived there from Cebu.
The Cebuano language, descended from Proto-Austronesian (ca.
6000 years ago), originated in the Sugbo heartland[2] and then "has spread from its base in Cebu" to Bohol, thus beginning the Bohol Cebuano dialect.
