In 2009 there were about 500,000 speakers of Surigaonon, which is also known as Cantilangnon, Jaun-Jaun, Sinurigao or Waya-Waya. Surigaonon is written with the Latin alphabet and is taught in primary schools in the Surigao provinces and the Dinagat Islands. It is closely related to Tausug and Butuanon, and many Surigaonon speakers also speak Cebuano. As a result, there is a lot of Cebuano vocabulary in Suriganon, and there is a shift among Surigaonon speakers to Cebuano. SURIGAONON ALPHABET (Alpabeto nan    Suriganon ) Alpabeto nan Suriganon
