What is the difference between Bisaya and Tagalog?

Bisaya and Tagalog are both languages spoken in the Philippines. The key difference between the two lies primarily in their geography, community who speaks them, and influence from foreign languages. Tagalog, also known as Filipino, is the national language and it's mostly spoken in Luzon, particularly in the capital city, Manila. Tagalog has more Spanish and English influences due to the Philippines' historical ties with Spain and the United States. On the other hand, Bisaya, or Cebuano, is widely spoken in the Visayas region and a large part of Mindanao. This language has been less influenced by Spanish or English and retains more of the indigenous Philippine language characteristics. The vocabulary and grammar structure also differ. For example, while in Bisaya, the English word 'beautiful' is translated as 'nindot', in Tagalog it's 'maganda'. However, both languages share some words due to shared history and culture. It is important to note that the Philippines has around 170 languages, and the phrases and accent can dramatically change from one region to another. In other words, someone fluent in Tagalog may not necessarily understand Bisaya, and vice versa.
