[edit] dialect or language

Hi everybody,

The dialects listed here are not really dialects but languages. For example, Surigaonon and Butuanon is not a dialect of Cebuano but a language close to the Tausug. Actually the technical name of Butuanon is Butuan Tausug. Hiligaynon and Kamayo are close languages to the Manobo. Only Boholano is the dialect of Cebuano.
