Summary: "A Dictionary of Cebuano Visayan" by John U. Wolff is a comprehensive dictionary written in the early 1970s. This reference work focuses on the Cebuano language, one of the major languages spoken in the central Philippines and Mindanao, and aims to provide explanations of Cebuano forms rather than direct English translations. With approximately 25,000 entries, it serves as an invaluable tool for both Cebuano speakers and learners seeking to understand the intricacies of the language. At the start of the dictionary, the transcriber notes detail the formatting of the text, including the use of Unicode characters for diacritics that may not display correctly on all computers. Following this, the foreword by Robert B. Jones highlights the significance of this work in relation to Cebuano and Philippine linguistics, emphasizing its collaborative nature involving over a hundred participants. The preface outlines the dictionary's goals, structure, and process of compilation, indicating that it was developed from extensive oral and written sources, all aimed at clarifying the meanings and uses of Cebuano words. The introduction begins with a discussion of the language's distribution and cultural context, highlighting its status and fluctuations in prestige over the years.
