whoops...I replied with out adding any content....m bad..
At any rate..what I was going to say, was that Tagalog seems to have resources everywhere. There%s even a Rosetta Stone to learn Tagalog...but Bisayan, however, is very difficult to find good sources for.
Is there a possibility of having a focus on Cebuano?
Thanks
Pete

Pete,
Hello and welcome!. I agree with you, there are alot of Tagalog resources on the web. My goal here is to create a site for as many of the languages and dialects for the Philippines. Cebuano/Visyan/Bisayan is definitely one one of them.

Yes, in some of the forums such as this one, when you create a new topic, there will be a prefix drop down to select a language or relevant info for a topic but isn't required. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to PM me. Some of the data is still being updated like the one in this thread. I hope to have more time to update or have my wife update it since she she speaks the Bisaya language.
