Waray Language Bible / Baraan Nga Biblia, An Maupay Nga Sumat
Binisaya Samar-Leyte Visayan Waray Samarenyo Bible Fifth most spoken native regional language of the Philippines, Eastern Visayas
Wáray-Wáray or Warai is a language spoken in the provinces of Samar, Leyte, and Biliran in the Philippines.
It is the fifth-most-spoken native regional language of the Philippines, specific to the provinces of Samar,
Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, some parts of Biliran, and the north-east of Leyte island
(surrounding Tacloban).
It is the third most spoken language among the Visayan languages after Cebuano and Hiligaynon (Ilonggo).
The language name comes from the word often heard by non-speakers, "waray" (meaning "none" or "nothing" in Waray); similarly, Cebuanos are known in Leyte as
"mga Kana" and their language as "Kana" (after the oft-heard word "kana", meaning "that" in the Cebuano language).
This contemporary edition of the Bible has 40 years of faithful translation as its legacy.
