Hey kiddo, do you know that there are many different kinds of languages spoken around the world? One of them is called Bisayan languages! Bisayan languages are a group of languages spoken in the Philippines. They are spoken by many people who live in the Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Philippines.

Now, let me explain what a language is. You know how you use words to talk to your family and friends? A language is like a big group of words that people use to communicate with each other. Each language has its own words, grammar, and way of speaking.

The Bisayan languages have many different dialects, which means that even though they are all part of the same group, they are spoken differently in different places. Some of the most well-known Bisayan languages include Cebuano, Hiligaynon, and Waray-Waray.

People who speak Bisayan languages can communicate with each other because they share a lot of similarities in their words and grammar. But to people who speak other languages, Bisayan languages can sound very different and unique!

In the Philippines, Bisayan languages are used in many different parts of daily life. People use them to talk to each other at home, at school, and at work. They are also used in music, TV shows, and movies!

So there you have it, Bisayan languages are a group of languages spoken by many people in the Philippines and they have their own way of speaking and communicating with each other.
