I don’t know if this might be similar but in Manadonese, a creole of Malay, we have a word that I believe is a taken from Minahasan which is pongo and it means deaf.
I swear Mindanaoan Cebuano speakers will do anything but admit that the language that they speak is Cebuano. 💀 They always insist it's "Bisaya" which is a problematically vague term.
same thing with the Kadazan, Dusun, and Rungus in Sabah. They all insist that they are separate languages even though an Irish accent of English has more differences with American than what they have between them.
When you compare other astronesian languages with the malaysian languages, do not rule out the ethnic languages in Sabah and Sarawak. I believe they are closer to the original Astronesian languages than Malay or Indonesian.
I always love these videos about Austronesians comparing their languages, it's like meeting a long lost cousin lol

Please keep going, educate us about our roots.
"Banwa" is "town/village" in Cebuano-Visayan.
Bisaya balay - house . Malay balai - station or general house
In Malay, Balai means building or wharehouse. Benua is continent/land...very cool
You're learning Tagalog, salamat po

Which itself becomes a problem because other languages in the visayas region say their language is bisaya lol

interestingly, "bukit" which is hill in malay sounds preeeeetty close to "bukid" which means rice field or simply field.
Bukid is what language?
@@ANTSEMUT1 in tagalog from philippines. But in bisaya (also from ph), bukid is mountain.
@@melveljundaragosa8441 hmm interesting
Bukid is mountain in bisaya.
"uma" is rice field or other agriculture plantation.
