- Waray-Waray (war-war) = 3 (Wider communication). Statutory language of provincial identity in Samar, Leyte islands (1991, ACFLC Section 3(f)). Increasing since the second half of the 16th century under Spanish rule, Waray-Waray is native to and widely spoken in the Eastern Visayas Region of the Philippines. Used in daily life and most informal situations.
