WHO ARE THE BISAYANS OR VISAYANS?
The Visayan people live and dominated the area of central Phillipines down to the south of Mindanao as well as the states of Borneo. We are a seafaring people, a warrior-raiders, and traders. The term Visaya or Bisaya, as some historians would claimed that it is from the merchant empire of Sri Vijaya. It was a Malay empire that dominated and controlled the straits between India and the South China sea. Once the empire collapsed, the Visayan people started to find their new homes. It is evident from the spread of the language(see pic).
As for the Borneain Bisaya, this is what I found from wikipedia "The Bisaya are an indigenous people of northwestern Borneo, Malaysia, concentrated around the Limbang river in northern Sarawak state. There are other related tribes called Kadazan-Dusun in Sabah and in Brunei. They are distantly related to the Visayan of the Philippines, though a comparison with Cebuano Bisaya vocabulary shows that the language bears few similarities, most of which are more related to Bahasa Malaysia than Philippine Bisaya. Such similarities may be due to the standardizing effect and influence Bahasa Melayu had over not just the Bornean Bisaya but also all other ethnic languages spoken in Malaysia"
