Cavite Islands Philippines
"Language / Dialects of Cavite"
The main languages spoken are Tagalog, Chabacano and English. Chabacano, sometimes spelled as Chavacano, is the dialect mostly spoken by majority of the Cavite�os that lived in Cavite City and Ternate, whose origin has begun during the arrival of the first Spaniards three centuries ago. Today very few Cavite�os speak the Chabacano dialect and perhaps it will come to cease of its existence or completely disappear in the near future.
Due to Cavite's proximity to Manila a large number of people have moved from farther provinces, resulting in a significant usage of Bikol, Cebuano, and Ilokano.
