Butuanon (Binutwanon, [binutwɐnʊn]) is an Austronesian language spoken by the Butuanon people in Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur, with some native speakers in Misamis Oriental and Surigao del Norte.
As of 2007, Butuanon is believed to be spoken by fewer than 500 younger speakers in Butuan itself.
[2] Butuanon is very closely related to the Tausug language of distant Sulu and the Surigaonon language of neighboring provinces Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte.
Stress is phonemic in Butuanon and can fall on either the penultimate or the final syllable.
