Davaoeño (Dabawenyo) is a language of the

Davaoeño people, but it is no longer spoken in Davao City as speakers have shifted to a local dialect of the Cebuano
language, called Davaoeño Cebuano (and often just called Davaoeño or Bisaya).

The Davaoeño language and Davaoeño Cebuano are also not to be confused with the extinct Davaoeño dialect of the Chavacano language that was once spoken in Davao (known as Chavacano Davaoeño or simply Davaoeño).
