Learn how to speak Tausug
Tausug is a regional language
spoken in the province of Sulu in the Philippines, in the
eastern area of the state of Sabah, Malaysia, and in North
Kalimantan, Indonesia by the Tausūg people.
It is widely spoken in the Sulu Archipelago (Basilan, Sulu
and Tawi-Tawi), Zamboanga Peninsula (Zamboanga del Norte,
Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga del Sur, and Zamboanga City),
Southern Palawan, Malaysia (eastern Sabah) and Indonesia
(North Kalimantan). Tausug and Chavacano are the only
Philippine languages spoken on the island of Borneo.
The Tausug language is very closely related to the
Surigaonon language of the provinces Surigao del Norte,
Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Sur, and to the Butuanon
language of northeastern Mindanao.
