(Redirected from Kamayo)

'Kamayo' is a minor language spoken in the area of Bislig City, in the Southern Philippines. It has 7,565 speakers (2000, WCD). An interesting word in Kamayo is "inday", which means literally "I don't know". This is interesting because, in Cebuano the same word is a generic term for a female, roughly like "gal" in English. In Standard Cebuano, the translation of the phrase "I don't know" is "Ambot".
Kamayo is also spoken in Lingig, Surigao del Sur; and in Cateel, Davao Oriental. It is related to Surigaonon and Butuanon.
